The levers on these Holley's are different from anything I've seen before. Anyone recognize these, were they something that was made commercially or just fabricated for this application?
Those look like the Ford style levers. Those Holleys may have originally been from a dual quad 427 application? Given all the interest in the Two Lane 55, I'd imagine that the info on the carbs is on the web somewhere.
The side linkeage looks like what comes standard on a 660 center squirt. pretty comon on a tunnel ram at one time.
I disagree. Those are vacuum secondary carburetors, but 660's are mechanical secondary. The link bar from the lever on the primary throttle shaft fits into a slotted lever on the secondary side.
Found this pic on the web taken during filming, shows the vacuum diaphragms from the p***enger side view. http://theselvedgeyard.files.wordpr...6_09_zbehind_the_camera_two_lane_blacktop.jpg
They look like old factory issue Ford carbs, many of which flowed in the 450 cfm range. A pair of them on an engine like this would make sense.
Likely old 1849 or 1850 factory FOMOCO Holleys or the same number later replacements, by looking at the throttle linkage.
Maybe you found a different pic all I have to go on is what is posted and I don't have X-Ray vision. I just sold 3 660s this summer and they are identical on the side that the OP posted.
Not trying to perpetuate an argument, but every 660 I've seen have linkages and levers like in the pictures below. FWIW, I placed my first post before I found the image I posted. Maybe someone had previously modified the carbs you had? Again, not trying to ruffle feathers, just clarify for the m***es.
Porkn******, sorry buddy the guys are right in this case. I have several 660's and there were many levers on center squirters that were modified over the years and many of them looked similar to the photo I posted but aren't the same. Here is a good example of the Ford type the guys here are talking about. Ignore the cathedral bowls.
