Foolin around w/a dualquad 360

[moparclown]

Oh WoooooWW! That is soooo flippin NICE!

Done in Black wrinkle paint like the valve covers?

Thanks guys its been some work to make it really work good but as you can see its some sweet looking.Black wrinkle just like the valve covers,I am not much of a show chrome kinda guy.

I don't know if this will help or not?I spent many hours making and working with the carb linkages on this and since I run a manual shift 904(no kickdown)I ended up making the bracket but ran a Lokar cable from the pedal to the carb.Glad I did as they have great adjustment.
Your set up Looks very impressive Rumblefish:cheers:

rumble, is that a Eddy D66? I got one of those out here in my shop I gotta blast and set up carbs on for a friend.

So overall how do smaller dual quads compare to a bigger single quad performance-wise? What about fuel distribution and gas mileage? Is there any benefit other than looking supremely bad-*** (lol)?

I never even considered mileage as a high priority when I mounted up the crossram and 2 600's8)

Being my intake is a dual plane, I don't think top end will compare even though some runners are short and direct. (Good for HP)
Weiand has a divided single plane inline 2X4 that would and should do really nice up top.

I'mmmmmmmmmmm, IDK, I forget, it's the intake for the early 273 engines with the smaller attaching hardware (5/16) bolts as well there odd angle.

Thanks go to Edelbrock for settin us up. To bad they don't make intakes like this for our engines anymore. Now, you can get the MOD MAN intake from INDY. It's a 2X4 single plenum. (I think you knew that, but just threw it up there for those who don't.)

For those considering running a 2X4 intake with AFB/AVS carbs, lookie below.

IF you have an electric choke carb and don't want to use one of the carbs as a primary and the electric choke, be it broken or missing a part, you can use a metal coat hanger (Thick wire) and simply bend a 90* or more angle at the end, clip it, run it to a manual choke cable holder, clip it and leave it. This particular one pictured also needed some carboard at the clasp end to hold it steady and still.

Presto!

Choke plate still there but no longer an issue and out of operation.

(Soory about the blur. It was the best of like, Ohhh, IDK 15 attempts.)

If it is a chke plate deleate... first you need to mark the shaft on the secondary side. Notice that the shaft is also used as a stop for the secondary velcity air door.
The shaft is also cut down it's side leaveing half of the shaft. The flat of the shaft is a maximun opening point. This flat should be left long enuff to still be used as a stop and the flat should be faceing vertical.

Here on the table is the secondary side shaft cut into 3 parts. The middle will be discarded. But keep it close by just incaase....

The last shot is how I kept in from sliding out of the drivers side. I drilled a small hole and installed a small cotter pin to retain it there. Drill right into the end of the flat where the shaft goes round again.

Did you notice in the above picture that the passenger side of the shaft has the choke lever attached to it. You'll need this to stop the cut shaft from walking in to the carb. NOT an issue on the drives side due to the lever.
But on the passenger side, the lever that attachs to the electric chokes rod is retained. I took mine into a drill and ran it against the grinding stone.

After making it a small dimeter rounded head, I used lock tight to hold it in there for good. On the other end, I did the same as beofre, drilled a hole and cotter pinned it. The cotter pin holds both shafts in place. Theres very little room to twist the shaft with the cotter pin on it. Its an interfearance fit and hold.

(Not one of my best ideas, but this is the way I tinker around and start to think on how to do it better next time.....which I have an idea.....)

 

[rumblefish360]

Score 2 points if you noticed that the passenger side shaft has a different screw on it from the first and last pictures of it.

Yep, twisted that sucker right off. Not to dang hard ethier! I drilled it out and installed another screw. Loc-tited that sucker down as well.

I now have figured out that the better way was to combine the first picture of the set and the last. Use the coat hange to hold that sde of the shaft and then mark it, cut it, set it up in the rod and choke cable braket. Just leave enuff of the rod to stop the secondary velocity door from over opening!

And now I say to myself... DUH! :angry7:

But this is learning. Getting dirty and screwin things up. More forethought next time...... (I doubt it though I'll try.... )
