Features Vintage Multiple Carb Intake Pictures

Thanks. In my mind, these intakes look like what the earliest guys built for their roadsters. They just look so simple, but I know of a few that ran terrible.
I will build one for my big cad, and I am willing to deal with the hassle and possible negative performance, but I hope to learn from past lessons if possible, and at least start with a design that has a chance of success.

Some old Pontiac setups I've had or still have..

 

Where'd that finned noname valve cover come from?

 

Tom Lowe, it's a new design.

Any one have good pictures of linkages with two rows of carbs? What is the best way to make them work in unison?
Thanks!

Thought I would bump this for the weekend. Anyone with more pictures?

I'll play. Here's my Edmond Speed that is going on the fresh stude engine in my 33 that I'm currently building.

 

I just picked up this one today and have no idea what it is!! lol

 

That looks great! What's the engine out of? And what carbs are you running?

not real exotic but Offy', Holley and Hooker work for me:

Hey Paul what are you running this in?

I had it in a '36 Plymouth Coupe about ten years ago, not too many pictures of it with that setup but it ran very strong

built for street strip 454 with Chevy rectangle heads
typical late 60's style big block stuff put together right

here's a crappy old clip of it when I first put it on

 

Real hot rods have lots of carbs.....

A small block Chev with a 4 barrel may perform well but it doesn't look like a hot rod motor.

I built this set up for a Y block Ford many years ago.



And this one for a GMC six...............

 

Here are a couple from over four decades ago.

Just found this, kinda cool. Good luck finding one though

i am running this dragstar on my hemi, actualy i have it very streetable

 

I have always run multi carb set ups on all of my cars and unfortunately I do not have any photos to post because I am in the process of moving. But since I run mainly small block Fords there is not a lot of variations to post but the one that I would love to get would be the inline Autolite if I could find one. I have seen a couple at the big Ford swap meet in Columbus Ohio through the years but they were not cheap!

Homemade manifold with Bendix Stromberg WW carbs.

 

also had the horne-cragar 4x2 for my hemi, but sold it in favor for my 8x2

 

That is awesome! This is what I want to build on my 472. It looks like the carbs are feeding the cylinder on the opposite side of the engine from their mounting position. Do they also have some sort of balance chamber tying them together? Is idle running off of all carbs or just two? Are the throttles running together or progressive? Thanks for posting.

Pretty sure that's for a Y-Block Ford or Mercury

 

This is mine... 6 Holley 94's on a 354 Hemi, runs fine on the street. I'm using a progressive linkage, mainly runs on the two middle carbs.





I have some shots without the carb bodies, also have some video of the linkages moving. A bit boring but might be of interest on my website:

Its a bit messy but it also connects to the tv cable for the 700r4. Takes a lot of effort to push the pedal down

 

This is my 54. 235 with fenton dual carb intake and fenton header. wayne valve cover and side cover.
Later,
Dick

 

nice!

 

I have four deuce Horne for early Olds. Pics are here on the HAMB somewhere.

 

Neat throttle linkage. When I built my six carb set it took ages to set up the linkages.

 

Thought I would bring this back up, love multi carbs.
