pretty sure I saw a better picture of the linkage on this 4x2 setup here but dang if I can find it.. anybody have a close-up of the business side of this setup?
yes, it looks a bit cleaner, same parts pretty much but different configuration I picked up one of those top plates a while ago and have been thinking of doing something with it thanks!
If you use extra long throttle shatfs on the right side carbs, you might be OK without it, but if you use the "add on" shaft extender-or just want to be safe - you need a bar on the left side that supports all four throttle shafts. Some had bushings, some had bearings. I don't have a pic handy right now, but if you look around you'll find them.
Here ya go, Paul! This is a MASS car and I knew I could dig it out of "n1gzd" (rebecca's) pics. She goes to nearly every show taking 2-4 pics of every car! http://www.pangalacticconsortium.com/cars/CarPictures.htm
thanks guys, this is very helpful here is an older picture of my setup, carbs and top plate just resting on blower
BDS has a couple good pictures on their site and in their catalog. It is hard at first to hook all that up and index everything Roperly on the splined shafts. Make darn sure your throttle cable does not go "over center" or you will be in for a very exciting ride that ends witha load in your trousers!
we will see how well it works shortly at roughly 160 cfm (these are 48s) each this setup has close to the same cfm rating as the single 4 that was on there of course it had secondaries and this will be all barrels operating in unison so it should act quite a bit different one thing I didn't notice was the air cleaners I have bump into each other if I use them they will need to be modified no big deal
well she runs, need to mount the fuel log, it's just hanging by some bailing wire, I couldn't wait to hear it just back from a short romp around the block runs pretty good but does need some tweeking to fine tune it idles a bit high and it could be a bit smoother too something happened to the audio in the vid, the reving at the start came from nowhere?
Oh god when you rev it I got chills..... Love the way you routed the fuel lines. Slick Paul...very slick.
it definately has more power, no doubt gas mileage will be much worse and to get all four carburetors to return nicely meant double springing so the pedal is stiffer all in all very different than the single Edelbrock I think I like it
drove around for an hour os so doin the road tune she is very well behaved, easy start and nice response no overheating or bad behavior idle is still a tad higher than I like it, it's at about 850 rpm warm I will continue to fiddle with it while I drive it
Congrats man, looks super sweet! Sounds like you are having better luck than I did. I had three 94's on my blower and always had a hell of a time starting it, acted like the bowls drained down and acted like it was flooding every time I tried to start it. I finally gave up and went with the dreaded 4 barrel.
