Thanks! Sorry that I was too lazy to look it up myself!

It's interesting that the 195.6 has the same tube; you'd think that the 
trough intake would do that well enough without the tube. (And 
comically, the tube runs directly under the carb port, like within 1/2" 
or so, and really interferes with flow!) I'm certain Nash did this 
cut-n-try over the years and would not have wasted their time on a 
system that did not do something they wanted.
