If that's what you choose to call it, yes.
People come to this site looking for accurate information about Oldsmobiles, and any inaccurate information should be corrected as soon as possible.

Yes, I have been aware of that for a year or two. Now anyone who reads this thread, will also be aware of the correct application of the term.
Your post is an example of why they continue to be misinformed. Your reaction to mine, shows why too few people step up when they should.

Exactly why the masses continue to be misinformed. I suggest you use a generic modifier, such as “an intake that takes three carbs”, or “3 two barrel carbs”, if only, to maintain your credibility on an Olds site.

Only to correct your own mistake. Which is, as it should be.
