Yes that link has lots of great stuff. Somewhere in that link you will find the first attached picture. The 3rd picture here is labeled "Paula Murphy-Set to Roll". I find this picture interesting in that it appears the Carbumeters are on the passenger side next to each other. This is a different setup than period magazine pictures of the #8 car where they are mounted on a vertical arrangement over the console (2nd picture).
