Why Two??? why not just one? the throttle body handles four cylinders
just fine why can't it handle 4 ports?

Well if you want the maximum airflow to get into the engine you will
need two throats. One for each p-port runner.

A half a carb would work if you don't care about the power :)

BTW carbs like a lot of air velocity in a small throat as they use
the venturi as a sensor to know how much fuel the engine needs.
The  venturi likes a lot of air velocity to work well.

Four small ones work better than one big one as four small ones
tailor the fuel to each runner's airflow. There is one throat
in the carb on my Cont. O-470. The EGTS and the CHTS are all over
the block as God only knows what mixture is in each of the six cylinders
is getting at any given  power level or RPM.

O.k  I get it, what about a non P-Port motor can I have one carb
going to one rotor and another carb going to the other rotor? or,
can I just have an intake plenum on top and one carb? It's just
hooking up those ellisons (as in the linkage so they work exactly
the same)  which I have one now, might be a little tough.

Sure that will work. Again one or the other or both rotors may be off
on the exact mixture due to aerodynamic effects in the plenum.
Back in the old carb days manufactures spent big bucks trying to even out
the mixture in all the intake manifold runners. Books have been written
on the subject. One of the main reasons they went to EFI.
