Hot Rods Y twin carb adaptors

can't seem to find them anymore, does anyone sell these Y adaptors, i know Tardel done it before?

 

There is someone on E-Bay selling them, but for $200 a copy.

 

$99.00 Vintage Speed

 

Dickster, you have a link? I cant find the Y style anywhere....

 

Edelbrock ?

 

not a great fan of the vintage speed one's but it looks like its the only one, can't find Edelbrock ones?

 

Edelbrock only sells the full Slingshot intake ,looks simillar but more $. I dont really like the VS one but its looking like the only game in town.....

 

I went back on E-Bay and checked. The one I saw was gone. I had no interest so I didn't pursue it.

 

i purchased one of those vintage speed. the quality was a 5 out of 10. the carbs are actually crooked. the rear carb is rotated about 10 degrees clockwise. its not super noticeable but when your driving down the road and staring at two scoops sticking off them above my cowl, you really notice it. i wish someone was making the slingshot style dual carb adapters

 

If I manage to score a booth at Hershey, will have one for $100 there...don't remember source, but it is the smooth Y sort like top pic, not the angles and ribs type.

 

if you wanted to sell it online i'd take it!

 

Looked at the thing...it is by Vern Tardel, so kind of a celebrity piece here...it has a web between the arms of the Y with Tardel's name cast there, smooth Y otherwise about like the one in top picture.
Since VonM started this, he's first in line but I HAAAATE shipping and will be taking it to Hershey assuming I get a booth...did not score one last year. You can probably find someone on here who can pick it up for you... LOTS of English people at Hershey always.

 

Bruce, info on who is still selling them would be great to if you happen to find out.

 

No idea, mine came on a Canadian manifold I wanted. Just a tray that wandered into my basement.

 

I was thinking if you see someone selling at Hershey, Thanks!

 

no worries if it sell's at hershey! if anyone else has one let me know. someone needs to cast them, they were the hot ticket a few years ago when i worked in my friends shop we used them on a few flatheads!

 

Were they ever really the "hot ticket"?

 

if building a pre war style car, they were perfect on a stock inlet!

 

My supercharger needs one! Gary

 

Still after one of these?

Anybody find a source for the slingshot type ones yet? Gary

 

I have a couple side by side but the only front to back I see now are the vintage speed ones. But, if you grind the Vintage Speed off it will pass for a Speed Gems. I know I used to have a few. Now all I have in front to back is Speed Gems is 2x2x1.
