    The Northwest one is a copy of the Offy. It will not work on all manifolds, see how it cuts in on the sides. Though neither work on a spreadbore (Quadrajet) manifold correctly.

    Our is not a copy of the Offy. The bases are further apart to use the 94's without t******* the bowl screws and is available in both styles. If you are running a traditional manifold or contemporary. Ntohing we manufacture is a copy but made from new molds and very often upgrading some of the original concepts with current technology. We have 100% satisfaction with our parts worldwide.

    what if you put on one of them adaptors, IE like the ones for putting an old holley onto the quadrajet manifolds?

    I was seriously thinking of getting one of the northwest ones for my sbc if I could get another 94 carb cheap enough
    after I get this truck moving under its own power
     
  10. Wow cool....I have a Weiand 2x4 intake that takes the AFBS and not the small base WCFB"S I want to run 4 94's in a row..So that should work ok then??

    You may have changed a few things, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a copy of the Offy. It is not an original idea. Same for the 6x2, copy of the Weiand with a few updates. Dont'think you're doing something that hasn't been done before.

    Marcus, I don't know about the Northwest adapters but the Charley adapters need 11" ctr to ctr for the carbs to be mounted in a row. I have a Wieand tunnel ram(mine is 8.5" ctr-ctr) also and want to do the same thing but I have to mount the two back carbs backwards to get them to all fit in a row.

    Yeah Chuck you could mount the adapter on an adapter but thats a lot of seals and height to deal with. I can drill this for most any pattern. Mounting them 4 in a row is an issue for some manifolds. The NW Speed models need 9 1/2" center to center to mount 4 in a row. Remember, we don't want to reinvent the wheel but make it better and affordable. This is fun and if you can get all the old school parts again it makes our hobby grow. Thanks for being a part of the cars I love so much!
     
  15. **** mines 8 1/2" also Its a good thing i checked first..Well back to the drawing board I guess...I could always spend a million dollars and buy a 4x2 for a Cad...But its against my principles...I had three 4x2 Cad intakes on the shelf and paid no more than $150 a piece for them...Thanks to the Newstalgia craze I see them for around $400!! F'in Crack smokers!!!
