    Been buying stuff for the next project - soon to be in the garage and torn apart for finishing. Got a KILLER 3x2 setup yesterday, along with bomber belts and a banjo wheel. Pix below.

    Questions:

    1) Any idea who built the induction setup? It's clearly a resale kit - comes complete with linkages, an Eddie Meyer firewall fuel block, and setup instructions. It's a vintage Eldelbrock SU 359 with three Holley 94's which have been set up 'right' - choke delete and power valve block-out on the outboard carbs. I'm interested because the person who did this is due major kudos; the setup is 99% ready-to-run right outta the box while being a show-quality resto. Very, very nice!

    2) Pardon my ignorance, but what year is the banjo in the pic - and what horn ****on does it take? I gotta go lookin' for it shortly; unless someone has a ****on they'd like to part with...

    Thanks in advance - you guys are the best!

    Looks like a good start to your project. I'm sure there are others but I'm thinking that your induction system may be from Vintage Speed in Florida. They like to sell complete ***emblies and they do the chromate plating thing on carbs.

    The banjo is a '37. But if you're not real fussy 35 thru 39 horn ****ons will fit. Check Ebay. Good luck.

    I'll second that on the Vintage Speed intake....he sells all of that stuff complete like that....and he has those fuel blocks.

    It is not from vintage speed, for one you get a setup instructions to help you dial it in, at least I did when I bought mine, second everything is polished and third everything is there in a baggie ready to go.........The folks that build those setups are on ebay they build them in their garage, very quality.

    I'd agree its not a vinatge speed setup; the baggie of parts is hand lettered, and the instructions are sketchy (not much more than you need two return springs. So - I tore it apart to look it thru once I got home, and everything is 'right. The only thing I needed to do to make it a bolt on setup was to stake the idle/accel pump linkages and the progressive linkage to eliminate a little free play.

    That set-up looks like a unit built by Dwayne in Sacramento, from what I can see. I have his contact info if ya wanna check it out. He does incredible work you should be happy if its one of his units..
