D&S Intake?

I dont have a picture of it yet but it is really bugging me. I have a dual carb intake manifold with the letters D & S printed on the top. I tried searching the web for any info but came up blank. does anyone have an idea to what type of intake this might be? I will post a picture tomorrow evening so if you are interested check back.

 

Had a D&S 2 single on a 235 Chev that worked great year round. Seems like D&S had a tie-in with Clark headers during the early '50s...

I have some pics of a D&S flattie intake at my house, but I think my internet at home is not working. I'll post it if my internet is working.

 

I've got a D & S intake on the '49 F1 I've got. I'd like to know more about the company and if they were any good. Mine is a 2 X2bbl.

friend of mine just bought one at the pre war swap in chickasha.

flatty 2x2

 

seem to be the same pattern as fenton and esser, I am wondering if there wasnt a foundry that for $$$ you could get your name on their pattern. I know that a couple of the aussie intakes ( flathead ) that I have in my collection are very simmilar too. I guess people werent happy to spend the $$ to have their own pattern. so the interchangable moniker was the way to go.

 

I have a dual intake for early Chevy six that is the same pattern as a D&S, but says "Clark Header" instead. I've also seen them that said "E&S"--maybe D sold out to E?

 

I'm pretty sure that the flatty intakes were done by Fenton. I thought I've read somewhere that Fenton would cast their manifolds with other people's names/logos for a fee.

D&S was a speed shop (I belive East Coast) back in the day.

What I just wrote could be completely wrong. What the hell do I know anyway?

 

Anyone with more information? I just picked one up this weekend.

 

All Ford here in Campbell, CA. has one of those intakes in their glass display case, it's a 2 X 2 and was told it was not for sale I inquired about it and the owner is holding onto it for sentimental reasons, that it belong to a good friend of his that passed away some time ago. I wanted to know if it was a rare peice of speed equipment, because i have never sen that brand before.
kinda cool that this thread poped up about it, because i just saw it a few days ago in there.

 

Steve used a D&S 2 pot to make the blower manifold for the '33. They are fairly rare but certainly not scarce. I've seen several for sale on the bay within the last year.

Here is a picture of one that I found in a local junk yard a few years ago. Since then I have seen two or three more at swap meets over the years. Sorry I can't tell you anything about them.

 

Here's the one I bought.

 

They're desireable. They're cool. They bring decent money. Somewhat uncommon, but not the yeti of intakes.
Run it or call me, I'd like it.

Hi

Will it fit a french flattie ?
I'm sure it would but thought i'd ask the question before i spent my hard earned.
thanks

Just sold one for a flathead about 3 weeks ago at Louisville swap meet.

 

Mine for my 235.

 

Banjorear is correct, D&S was E&S, Fenton sold naming rights to anyone wanting to have there own intake, Almquist, D&S and Von Esso. There may be more but I an not 100% sure. For some reason they seem to be getting more money......

 

is the D&S the name or does it stand for Dumper carb and Sipper carb? That would be cool if it did!

 

D&S stands for Drake and Smith atleast that is what I was told by an oltimer.

 

D&S I believe stands for Douglas and Sharp. I believe the gentlemens name was Al Sharp and was out of California in the 50's. He used the same pattern but would put your speed shops name on this intake pattern. Thats why Fenton, D&S, Jet, AA Custom, Douglas, Von Esser and others look the same. Also thats why some heads look the same. Like Hotton Sullivan, Allstate, and Speedway. All used off the same pattern. The D&S is a common intake, but not as common as Edelbrock or Offey.
