Don't. Know if this fits here but here's my 2 2 intake for my f100 Sent from my DROID device using the TJJ mobile app
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Like the air cleaner, took me a minute to snap to what it is made of. I also have a very early Offenhauser intake with the port at the drivers side rear. What is the hose you have hooked to it? I thought it was for a mechanical temp sender when used on the early 265ci chevy motors.
This ones mine. It's a homebuilt set-up except I used a dart single plane intake to build off of. With it being a BBC I didn't want to get into locating the distributor. It actually performs really well both cruising and wot. Also I'm running large base 2g's with progressive linkage. I tried it both straight and progressive. I found that progressive with the secondaries opening as quickly as possible off of cruising speed gave me the best mix between throttle response and drivability.
My obssesion is buying bare intakes, collecting up carbs and air cleaners and linkage and making complete set ups. heres a few pics of some of my stuff. and also a couple pics of some cool vintage engines in hot rods
Cool obsession. Question on the setups running two rows of carbs. Do you run one carb on each side as a primary with a choke? Do they all need a choke if they are not running a progressive linkage?
Usually one center in each row is set and the primary carb and then the out 4 are the secondary like a 3x2 set up, and just chokes in the middle carbs. jeff
Probably ten or twelve years ago I was wandering the swap meet at Goodguys Indy and saw a homemade 2x2 intake that looked like it might be for a Plymouth flathead six. I think the carbs were Carters, the builder had split the throttle shafts between the butterflies and built a really nice linkage setup using a bunch of little brass bits, so that each carb operated progressively. Thought that was a great idea. It was grubby and gas- stained, so it obviously had been run. I'd like to try building something like that myself sometime.
Here's my current set up. 3 x 2 Holley/Weber 5200's on an Offy Intake. The other photos show a 5-Carb intake I designed and built about 5 years ago. Had 5-94's and velocity stacks ready to bolt on but a buddy saw it and he just had to have it. Good thing because I really did not want to cut a slot in my hood!
The two different straight six intakes you posted, did the version with the carbs running into separate ports run better than the one that had the tied together runner? Just thinking that the intake vacuum would be identical on each carb as each intake port has equal volume. In contrast, is the balance tube better in that it integrally balances out the flow differences between the different carbs? Thanks for any thoughts on pros/cons
I honestly don't know. I built this stuff for someone else and as far as I know, none of it has ever seen the road.... I would assume the plenum style intake that was built similar to the old McGurk, would be more user friendly. The individual carb per intake runner would probably need some sort of balance tube between them to make it happy. Just guessing though....
