that's normal. The way that style of starter drive works - the engine spinning faster than the pinion causes it to kick back out of engagement...
condolences on the loss of your friend
[ATTACH] my 5 window. purchased 2 years ago. Didn't really like it much (long story) so I tried to sell it. Hasn't sold, so this year's goal is...
I'm hoping to make a deal with a guy on a Columbia tomorrow, so not sure what's going to happen to the rear that's currently in the car.
no idea how "special" they are, but I *wish* my '35 had 4.11. the 3.54 in it now is awful for a low power 221 at 6000 feet altitude
would you be willing to measure the lengths of some of the arms ? from the pivot "axles" to the linkage or actuation points ? I'm betting i know...
in the third pic - it looks like the "upper" "U" shaped piece runs the secondary side, and the "lower" "U" runs the primary side ? --- the pins...
best pic I've seen yet of the center linkage - thank you !
We’re gonna find out !
I don’t know what the linkage on the Chevy car looks like, but it seems like maybe it comes from down low and pushes up ? The Mopar crosses the...
it's interesting how different the Chevy is from the Mopar
you make it sound so simple ! what I'm hoping for is to create one linkage arm casting that I can cut down for all the positions... the primary...
Roughed in the first linkage arm [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Clive at Stromberg is the BEST !!! I Emailed to ask if I could buy 3 carbs with unfinished throttle shafts, so I didn’t have to remove the ends...
both of mine were for 1950 dodge cars. the torsion springs were on the linkage rather the carbs. I think I have a pic or two of the setup, but I...
looks great. I used torsion springs on one I built. the other uses the original return spring.
[ATTACH] this where that wives tale got started
no longer available
[ATTACH] pic stolen from XXwelderXX showing the complexity of the primary side linkage. the uppermost piece facing rearward should be pointing to...
I have definitely been slacking on this project ! I finally dug up stock linkage parts and set them in place. Time to start thinking about the...
last night, while avoiding going out to the garage - I read this entire thread. This morning, I made garlic / herb butter grilled cheese with...
Wonder if Earl Edgerton drew any inspiration from this setup ? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Finally got the new studs in, 1/2” spacers on, and one piece of solid linkage mocked up. next thing is to get the factory linkage on the head,...
pic stolen from XXwelderXX showing the "inside" linkage arm - pinch screw above throttle shaft and minimal material below. [ATTACH]
we'll see ! I went ahead and ordered (3) 1/2" phenolic spacers with studs, nuts, and gaskets from Dashman on Ebay.
Borrowed 3 core 97s from a buddy, set them on the intakes — looks cool as hell, but the first issue came swiftly— the throttle shafts are too...
2 sets of Stromberg linkage arrived today. haven’t had a chance to grab core carburetors yet [ATTACH]
I'm strongly considering ordering two sets of this linkage as a place to start - they use torsion style return springs on the carb base behind the...
"conceivably" yes ... practically .... no. a 6 x 97 setup would be much easier to set up progressive with the center two as primary carbs and the...
