I've had a dual 4 on my 354 Chrysler poly engine for a short while.
Was an upgrade from a single 2-bbl intake.
Had some trouble with one of the carbs so I had to change to a single stock 4-bbl 392 Hemi intake instead.

I have a 392 in the works that will receive the dual 4 intake instead.

What problems were you having? I've been trying to get my setup dialed in because it has been way rich. I've leaned it one jet size and two rod sizes and am going to go another jet size. I'm running Thunder series 500s.

I had backfires out of the front carb occassionally.
At first I thought it was because of my homemade linkage but I was able to rule that out.
After I had removed the carbs and intake again I somewhat recalled one of the carbs has been used as a test carb on a bad running engine and it got a few nasty backfires aswell there.
Maybe the throttleshaft is slightly bent or it has other issues. I haven't been able to find out anymore on this intake.
I hope I will know when it's installed on the 392 in the future.

The carbs were 625 Carters by the way.
Way too much for a 354ci but with the airvalved secondaries I reconned they still should work OK.

Work on one circuit of the carb. at a time I would use the metering rods upper step to control the part throttle mixtures, get it right and then work on using the rear jets to get the wide open miture perfect I would try using a pair of two inch spacer under the carbs to increase the plenum volume and help make the motor more responcieve(SP?) to the throttle I'm not sure if the four hole spacer on the open two inch spacers would work better Using the two throttles hook together on a one to one ratio works way better on those stock type single plane dual quad intakes than trying to use them progressively like the later model dual plane intakes like the 426 Street Hemi intakes. I use to have a Chrysler 1955 331 Hemi in a 1934 Ford truck that I put a stock cast iron dual quad intake like yours on it, it didn't work worth a hoot with the AFB carbs hooked up progressively Same thing on my 1957 Chrysler 300C with the stock WCFB carbs., not worth a hoot hooked up stock IHTHs

Hey, Thanks for the tips! Right now I'm just trying to get it idling without my eyes watering. Then I will work on the other circuits. The two inch spacers I think, will work well in my situation. I'm not sure which way to go, the four hole or open plenum either. This is strictly a street car rarely see high RPM so which one will build more torque?

Four-holed spacers make more low/mid rpm torque by increasing the vacuumsignal to the carbs.

Since it is so rich at idle, have you tried softer step up springs?

I think you need more carbs! I like 6
