Carb Fetish! Show us your carbs!

Show us your carbs!

Everyone has a favorite carb/setup for single or multiple setups. Post some pics of your favorite, and tell us why you dig 'em so much. From a single Rochester 4g to a 6x2 using 80s Hitachi carbs robbed off some Japanese 4-bangers, to a row of Mikuni motorcycle carbs, one per cylinder... bring 'em on!

By the way, has anyone used one Linkert carb (from vintage Harleys - see pic) per cylinder?, or some S&S or Del Orto carbs?

Some day I will make a post about the modifications necessary to adapt these to a car engine

 

Hello All....Of all the intakes I've built, this is the one I like best..It's sitting on a Flathead and operates great..Of course the engine is built to handle it..
Duane

 

You need to - that's INSANE!!!


For you guys that are interested in what he's talking about, here's a quote (click his link above for pics - it's badass):

"Reverse Flow Induction Small Block Chevy

Runs on E85 uses Flathead V8 Crab distributor (with original points), 2 racks of Honda 750 motorcycle carbs, remote water pump, and remote radiator - No external moving parts."

 

Beautiful linkage...

~Jason

 

Holy hell!
reverse flow induction???
and that is so nice linkage u got...

 

Ok.......

 

These belong to Pooch here on the HAMB...I always dig seeing the work of a hard-line artist! I woulda loved to have taken this set-up home with me!!!

 

Here is our 4-2 setup - no progressive linkage - they are run straight on. We used to run (4) 48's on alcohol - but we have too much cam - would not run rich enough...



future project...

 

That's awesome!

Tell us more about it!

~Jason

 

Wow!

That's like... carb... "porn"... or something. Jesus...

It makes me feel both dirty and clean, all at the same time.

This should be a poster. Hell, Pooch should sell posters and T-Shirts of his hard line work. Seriously - he could probably sell calendars!

Hey fella's - I like experimentin with carbs and you said lets see em' :

8 for show - 6 for GO

Holley 1904 types on Offy 3X1 ( Ford Small Block Six):



Offy progressive linkage :






Check out the weird choke / venturi on this one :

Here's an easy one :



Holley/Weber 2bbl 5200 series on Langdon adaptor :











Want to see some more?. I'll get some more yehh ...

Powerband

 

A pair of '66 Pontiac AFBs (575 cfm) on a repop of a factory '63 421 Super Duty 'bathtub' tunnel ram.

Bent up the fuel lines and built the progressive linkage myself using '66 Tri-Power parts and some home-fabbed carb levers.





There is a little bit of history behind these 'bathtub' repops. The late Dave Johnson is the gentleman who cast this intake, he passed away from cancer this last Memorial Day weekend. RIP Dave.

It's one of only 22 that he made. Dave was a hard-core stick-shift Pontiac drag racer, he cast this intake to make his '63 Lemans more competitve in the Nostalgia Super Stock class that he raced in.

Dave's 'White Warrior' race car, in a picture taken just one week before he left us.

 

HELL YES I want to see some more!

That Offy linkage is SWEET.

You know, I've got a Carter 2-bbl collection going now - two from mid to late 60s Mopars. They look like they'd be nice with the right linkage. They (like my beloved WWs) flow about 280 or so CFMs.

What are those 1-bbls flowing?

~Jason

 

Hello..Here are a couple more..This is what I like doing..
Duane..

 

Hello..The 5x2 is for a 302 GMC and the 4x2 is for a 392
Duane...

 

A life-sized picture of that 5X2 would make a really cool poster. One of those long, skinny ones.

~Jason

 

here's mine....

 

You mentioned Dellortos, here's mine!

 

These have been on here lots so one more time won't hurt.

5 single barrel Strombergs on a home made intake fitted to a 270 GMC

 

I have to admit, I'm a Cheeto man, myself.

~Jason

 

Nothing as cool as what is above, but:

3 Rochesters on a Vette Intake (I've never had this setup running , so I don't even know if it will work or have enough to run the motor)

Oh yeah and those crappy fuel lines are long gone

 

well here is a few more of my Holley set-ups. Along with a pick of my custom built headers.

Here's a shot of my weber side drafts. Have had them for over 20 years, with no problems. Stu

 

Don't worry - you'll have it running someday!

You know, if I was a smart person I'd have used Rochesters instead of Stromberg WWs. But OH NO, I had to be different.

Sometimes the price you pay for originality is your ride being down for a while. It makes me wonder if a single 4-bbl or EFI on an SBC is a necessary evil for road trips, etc. True, it's the easy way out, but you can find parts at any auto parts store, and drive right by the overheated flatheads on the side of the highway on a cross-country cruise. It's the easy way out, but at least I'd get to drive more...

WTF am I saying? Screw that!

~Jason

 

Now THAT is carb porn, right there...

~Jason

 

Nice headers!

~Jason

 

Webers?.........
