Hot Rods Looking for these carb adapters

Hey all, so there was a member that posted these Holley 94/Stromberg 97 "side wacker" carb adapters in the cl***ifieds section a few years ago. I'd like to purchase them, but I haven't gotten an answer from calling, emailing, or messaging through the board here. The member that listed them hasn't logged in here for over a year, so I'm guessing it's a dead end, but if anyone knows him (Jerry Hopkins) I'd love to get in contact and see what the status on them is. I'm wondering if anyone has a line on who was making them, or if anyone has a few laying around they'd like to part with.

 

You might want to edit your ***le to include made in Australia.

I picked up one of Keith's flyers and business card at a recent run. While it doesn't show the "Side-Wacker" carb adapter that the OP posted it does show a lot of the items listed in the above post. The card and flyer list an email address and mobile phone number if you need it.

 

Jerry Hopkins is a resident of Corsicana,Texas—-known him for many years—-do NOT have a current phone number.

 

Appears to be a modern interpretation of the Almquist piece, there's one on eBay right now:

Edit: I see now that this new adapter allows side-by-side carbs, while this one allows inline duals. My mistake.

Sweet, that's a good lead that maybe I can go right to the source and see if they have any left. Thanks a bunch!

 

That's been the issue I've run into, is all the modern interpretations from Vintage Speed and even the original ones like you posted are all inline. I'm specifically needing a side by side.

 

Do you or a friend have any welding skills?

 

Simply cut the inline adapter available, rotate 90 degrees, weld …. Makes sense to me if they are no longer available.

 

I got ahold of the shop in Australia that makes them, it sounds like they'll be able to get me a few of them after the holidays!
