    Ugly but effective using the stock linkage to the bell crank, then hardware store stuff to the carbs. Heim joints are from a go cart supply place. (Didn't mean to disparage your Ford by calling it a chevy)

    Yeah... Wow, no when I had my 51 ford with the flathead six, that would have been interesting.

    My six is OHV so I have to rout mine a little diferent, with the parts carbs and just one car linkedge I am going to have to preeasemble before tare down, if I had some thing else to drive other than my softail then I could take a week to figure it out!?

    But CGkid is comeing down the hill with his 59, same motor so I should get a good idea and pics/drawings.

    thanks for the pics man.....

    I hear ya nate!!!
     
  10. The falcon and truck I-6 Ford engines used a bellcrank that mounted along side of the intake below the carb. Do a search on e-bay to see if that would work.

    I had the same set up on a 60 Ford, youll need to make a piece that goes from each carb, then I used apart of the stock linkage to actuate it

    It would seem to be EZer if the linkage were on the same side so they just hook together,but would need adoptor to swing them

    Try for rigid bracketing, preferably a long piece of steel spine that both carb pivots anchor to.
    Any swinging arms must be rigged to operate equidistantly: (in a 30 degree sweep, they must start at 15 degrees and end at 15 degrees either side of center)

    Throttle arm ratio should be 'under driven', rather than 'over driven'. Plan carefully, install return spring so as not to instill side-forces on throttle shaft bushings at carbs.
    Also, most important: use ball joints or something similar with threaded adjustments at carb links: infinite synchronization is possible.
    When carbs open smoothly and in sync, no backfiring at carbs condition is achievable.

    Will any of these help you for visual purposes? I have plenty more where these came from. I do this work frequently.

    I got the pics of the 1904 set up from CGkid on his 59, and the instructions from Offy from him, Being able to see the setup inperson helped...

    The 1904 throtle shafts are in the wrong position then the 94's.....
