    Hi found a old Bell Auto parts catalouge, lists a Ednunds alloy intake for 276, and will fit a 291 Desoto also, its lists as 2x4 bolt duplex carb, but I found a guy on the Hamb who posted he had a 2x2 barrel Edmund intake for his low deck Desoto that he modified into a blower manifold, so has anybody got any photo's or info on this Edmunds 2x2 manifold, I originally thought the Bell Auto listing might be a 1x2 Carter WCD 4 bolt carb? any help would be awesome! This site is the most! Keeping the fire lit in the FIREPOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is my 6x2 Dragstar manifolds below! s-l1600 (56) - Copy.jpg

    Nice intake and yes the 4 bolt carb is the carter WCD or at least it is on my redram. I would like to also see the intake manifold for the blower. I say this because you can just mount a plate to the CARBURATOR bolts. I just was to know how is the pop off valve incorporated and was a 671 or 471 snout used.

    This is my roadster that I sold like a fool. I bought the Edmunds 2x2 on the internet for more money than it should have been, and made aluminum adapters, to mount 94s. IMG_1252[1].JPG

    Thanks for sharing the photo.:D
    I have the Edmunds 2x2 for early Chrysler Hemi that someone did a pretty decent job of modifying for 94s.
    Hopefully some day it will live again, to many other projects.:confused:
     
  6. @marshall Did you find one? Or making a modified one?

    IMG_1251[1].JPG I bought it from Charlie Page, it was a real Edmunds, and even in 2004 it was stupid money, but I had to have it....

    Here's my Edmunds 2x2 for a low deck Desoto. I've had it for 25 years and have only seen 2 others since. One on a purple 32 roadster in Minnesota, and another at a swap meet that I shoulda bought but didn't because someone had taken a grinder to the name.
