6x2 Carb Set Ups - Pics and Information?? - who made them?

Couple of mine for early pontiac. Still in the "project" phases...

Edelbrock

Offenhauser


Looking for good sources for 6x2 linakge. Had trouble w/ eelco. Not willing to risk it with vintage speed. Any other sources that can be suggested that are good quality and deliver on time?

 

I just put linkage from Eelco on my x1 and it was trying at first but I think it should work real good. Hope to put it on the wifes 30 tudor sedan by the weekend.

What I want to know is if I can get away with running vacuum from the carbs to the dizzy, vacumm modulator, and if necessary the pcv.

 

Here,s mine....

 

Read this thread. If you don't know the answer after reading this, then just do whatever you want and try it. This should answer that question for you. Read the whole thing, though!

Ill be running this setup on my blown Desoto Hemi....but instead of 94s Ill be using 4xx2 Stromberg WWs

Eelco 6x2 on a 330 Desoto and 94's. I am trying to figure out the linkage right now.

 

6x2 from showcars

 

I think this thread needs a bump!

Finally fitted. Although, realised yesterday that the air cleaners look better off centre. No pic though because engine has been taken out due to high oil pressure

 

Awesome thread, just started collecting pieces for mine and looking at others for ideas. Theirs sone good stuff on here. Gonna try and run all six straight linkage on a 327. Heres what I have so far.

 

Good work on getting the thread back up.

Those stacks are stunning, they far surpass any that I have seen for sale. Can I ask where you got them or were they custom made?

I just bought these for my fuel lines. Hopefully they will look alright (not my pic).

Thanks, I made them. I saw some close to these online from the hotrod company. I work at a machine shop so I figured I'd just make my own

 

Ah right, fair enough. Must be handy working in a machine shop (and having the knowledge/skill to machine something like that!).

Your stacks look much nicer than the ones for sale. You could make money selling them.

I look forward to seeing your linkage and fuel log/block.

 

Dont want this thead.. hanging by a thread.. bahaha!

 

Gonna Finnish the linkage and run the fuel lines this week and hopefully will be bolting this down this weekend.

 

My 6x2s. I'll be using the X1 cross ram setup and not the log style, eventually when I can get my 46 Olds going.

Here's a good link to some old manifolds. http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/edel.htm

Here's where I got the stacks, http://doglipsspeedshop.com/

 

Finished the linkage, it will pull from the front with the cable running up thru the center. Fuel lines done. Mechanical choke linkage for the two main carbs. Now take apart clean, rebuild and put on the car

 

What I have been putting together for my 39.

 

Blast from past - 2010 seems longer ago than that!

 

When running non-progressive linkage should the middle 2 carbs still be primary style carbs and the end 4 be secondary style without idle circuits? Or should all 6be primary style carbs?

It's ideal for the middle 2 as primaries and the outer 4 as secondaries all controlled by progressive linkage.

 

Yes, I understand how the carbs are set up with progressive linkage, but what about the guys who are running non-progressive linkage?

You can run them with straight linkage but you have to have enough motor as well as have all 6 synced. In my opinion it is not the most practical for average streetability. It is a proven fact that you can't take a shit load of carbs and just jet them down a bunch and expect them to run, it doesn't work that way. There are a lot of other issues to take into consideration.

 

Here is a pic of my sbc edlebrock 6x2 1ntake I cut up and welded to the top of my home made desoto intake manifold. I uused 6 holley 94s and progressive linkage on this open plenum setup. I ran it forover 10 years. It was a bugger to warm up the engine in the middle of winter but it worked quite well otherwise.
