    I have an Offenhauser dual carb intake for the 235 in my chevy, but I bought it used and it didn't come with a linkage, does anyone know a good source for one? Also, both carbs that I have to put on it have manual choke, how do you deal with that? do you just hook the choke up to one carb, or would I need a dual linkage for that aswell?

    Thanks,

    Haney

  3. Delete the choke in one carb if they share a common plenum or if not run balance bar between the chokes so they both operate at the same time. you can make one out of a coat hanger in a pinch.

    Offenhauser sells linkage for your setup as well as many of the other induction manufacturers. You can also contact Vaphead here on the HAMB and get a killer deal on linkage for your setup, or Dmarv (an offy dealer) is also a good contact for all things go fast and what you may deem hard to find.

    If you know of a HAMBer of good reputation it is always better to support your fellow HAMB members as to suppoerting some other vendor.

    Anyone that sell Offy intakes will also sell the Offy linkage kit.
    You only need one choke.
     
  5. Call Dan at Stovebolt.
    He has a very nice set up using a dual Weber Carter Carb.
    I have run this on my 235 now on my new 261.

    I got the linkage for mine, hell I got all my solutions from Patrick's. They are the best, and I would hafta assume the linkage should work for both the Fenton and Offy intakes, also I am running the back choke only, just make sure to either remove the butterfly from the front carb, or just leave i wode open like I did. i have't had any problems so far, and actually I havent really needed to choke the car too much with the dual carbies anyhow...
