Hot Rods weiand 7161 pattern

the patterns to make the weiand 7161 2x4 carb adapter plate for a 4-71 gmc blower were on ebay recently.

just wondering if a hamber purchased them and is going to have a few cast.

drop me a pm if you do.

 

or does anyone know if aussie speed has a stateside distributor for this part?

 

Yep, you can buy local.

Is this the correct one?
https://www.youronlinespeedshop.com...r-shop-192-blower-2x4-carb-adapter-kit-as0459

 

That doesn't look like a pattern to me... it looks like a finished part.

I can't see how a pattern would include counterbored holes and small threaded holes.
They usually were made of wood with a "bondo" type material added as necessary.

 

That's not for a 4-71. It is for a 192 series blower

 

This is a 4-71.

 

The Aussiespeed kit he wants is AS0591R. It is very similar to the AS0459 kit in the link above.

The difference is the adaptor plate. The AS0459 kit has a AS0144 adpator plate to suit the 192 series huffer. The AS0591R kit has the AS0584 adaptor plate to suit the 4-71 huffer. Otherwise the kits are identical.

The AS0591R kit is not listed on the youronlinespeedshop.com site. I bet they sell it though - best to contact them and ask.

i know that. but the complete pattern and core box to make the finished product of the 7161 adapter plate was on ebay for like a grand. it didn't last long. i failed to get a pic of it.

 

straight from aussie speed's website

 

oops, just noticed the one above is for square bore carbs, AFB's won't bolt up without and adapter, correct?

 

Carter AFBs and the Edelbrock continuations have eight hold-down bolt holes

The inboard 4 are square bore pattern.

 

thanks

 

I've seen similar patterns like that for sale before with a manufacturers name on them. Just a word of caution, ownership of the pattern doesnt grant you the rights to make it with their name on it. There have been a few people bitten by the temptation to do it....

 

shhh, i won't tell anyone.

actually, the ad said something to that effect or meant for display purposes only
