I've been at this for a good 6 months now and have found a bunch of info but no photos yet. This is where you guys come in. I know this was used in the 50's at Bonneville and possibly el marage and was very successful. I've been wanting to build a tribute car solely based off this intake. Crazy i know......... I'm willing to offer $100US paid via paypal for anyone with a decent photo of this intake in a car. Please don't try photochop it in. This is not a scam or anything I'm just amazed with the history I already know. Thanks in advance.
Believe it to be a Multi apparently 1 of 5 known to exist. The names covered up as it's between the 2nd and 3rd carb by the fuel injection valve. The 94's have all be gutted.
Stumbled across these pics before but thanks for sharing. Is it your intake? Do you know much about Multi's?
Did the intake come from the San Diego area? Looks like one a guy hauled to the big 3 swap for several years. if its the one I'm thinking of Joaquin Arnett of the bean bandits had something to do with it. 8-10 years ago during a bs session with Joaquin at the swap he mentioned a guy had one of his old converted fuel injection intakes for sale. Being broke and dumb I didn't buy it, know one else did either for at least a few years. The guy always set up at the swap by the Qualcomm sign in an old Toyota? Truck/ rv deal. Don't think the guy that had it had any idea that Joaquin might have built it. Not sure if it was on one of the bandits cars or something he built for someone else, or it might be a completely different intake
The guy I brought it off is in Hemlock MI, where's MI? Minnesota? He is an older gentleman that did use it as an advertising sign at lots if swap meets for many year, about a decade I think.
I have seen that one several times. The guy in Hemlock, Michigan is "Aluminum_man" on Ebay. He's always got wacky stuff, mostly intakes. I've gotten some rare MEL 8x2's from him. I remember seeing that one several times from him but never knew the story on it. I'm surprised he didn't know.
Joaquin Arnett was one of the most famous rodders ever to come out of SoCal and I think is one of the Original "Bean Bandits" that have run on the lakes forever. Here's a little tidbit on the man himself. http://beanbanditssandiego.blogspot.com/
I was watching it for ages and one day i said to myself, "just buy it or else youll regret it". So i did. I have been racking his brains for ages trying to learn as much as possible. I know a little now, but not enough or no photos. The closest ive got is it was in a roadster.......
