First I think you have the progressive rod on backward....

Summitt Racing has a set up that works with these carbs so check them out.

Yeap Russ,
I figured that one out AFTER I took the picture and looked into my FSM. I should have remembered since I used to have a 426 Hemi Charger R/T project. I took the picure prior to repositioning........ Duh !!!

I hate it when I'm right. I sent my phone number, and if you'd called I could have told you how to fix that. I'm still here if you want. On a side note, Mancini does that stuff all the time, I have went round , and round with them before. Yes you should have gotten two bushings. One thing, you have the rod on backwards. Call me so I know exactly what you bought, and I can tell what's going on. I have already been through this.

Where is the bracket that the throttle cable hooks to? A big U shaped thing that bolts to the rear carb. But what Mancini doesn't want to tell you is how to make the progressive linkage work. I like to never got that out of them. Also you will only get about 1/3 open on the rear, when the front starts to open. No, they don't make that package, they have some guy out side of the business in town do it, and he does not want to help. Unless they have changed who does it. What is that bracket at the back of the manifold?

Is that a automatic car?

Did you ask the guy you bought it from, if he had lost any parts?

I do agree its dumb they don't add the $12 part to the kit..

They came in my linkage kit. You know Mancinis service really stinks. The only reason to use them is they have nice stuff at a reasonable price. And you know what, they don't care.

You got both bushings in your package? And the throttle attach bracket adaptor as well?

It wouldn't be all that bad if the bushing was available, but it is probably made locally. The throttle bracket is different. I can order those on my own......

You know if I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten the whole thing from Scott Harm with his reworked Carter carbs. Then everything works the way it is supposed to without any headache.

---

And that's exactly what I'm doing now........ It is only a matter of sending the money.... I didn't know Scott sold those either. He contacted me ( unfortunately, it was after this thread and I bought the system thinking ( again, assuming the right word ), Mancini would have their act together........ So, I'm selling the carbs and being done with the Eddy's... I have the spring and linkage kits that'll work with his carbs........ And look a hell of a lot better......

Hey gang..

Looks like I my "Mancini Street Hemi Package" isn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be.....

Anyone running the OEM intake with the Edelbrock 600's? The progressive rod seems to be, "not the best" in the world. When I got the kit, there was one bushing zip-tied to the rear carb's throttle arm. Well, that's all fine and dandy and fit like a glove, but they only supplied ONE bushing. The attach hardware for the other end of the progressive linkage doesn't center itself.. I am going to call Mancini back tomorrow. I called today and they "pointed fingers" at Edelbrock, which I in turned called. Edelbrock stated they aren't the ones that zip-tied the bushings, so it must be the department within Mancini that's building these things ( or Mopar Performance ).... Can I see how ya'll have yours?

I was warned............ you were right Anthony (71 RR- J68 )

This is what I have.......

You only need one bushing, I suggest you go look at how it's out together at the Edelbrock site, not rocket science.

Your, our, trust was with Mancini, cause they are Mopar people, and Edlebrock is not. Like I said, the guy that puts this package together doesn't even work for Mancini, he does it for them on the side. At least that's what they told me about a year ago.It's not Edlebrocks fault, they don't not care about factory type applications, just hot rod applications. Also the guy that makes the steel repo air cleaner base plates and lids, is also a pice of work. Don't trust him either, ask me how I know this.

Nothing wrong with the Edelbrock carbs, you just don't have the linkage hooked up correctly. you would think Mancini would include a diagram showing the proper attachment hole on the front carb lever, since they are not the same as the original Carters, you cant use the FSM and I am not sure the Ebrock site would show it as they have their own linkage, not the same. I run a pair of the 800 AFB's on my Hemi and they work very well once the jetting and rods were optimized.

May not be rocket science, but the website is a maze and you would think the customer service representative would have directed me to somewhere as you have eluded to. I am taking it by the suggestion you have been to or know where the page is referring to dual-quad applications on 426 Hemi? In hindsight this package seems to have been thrown together. In hindsight I put too much trust in a Edelbrock product and a Mancini customer service representative.

Took a whopping 5 minutes to find the progressive throttle linkage at the Edelbrock site. Another poster in this thread posted how you should have hooked it up. I think maybe where your trust was misplaced was in your ability to figure things out. Do you have an FSM? Did you bother to ask anyone for help before you attacked Mancini, Edelbrock, etc?

Even after others pointed out to you that you installed it wrong and provided you with DETAILED pictures of how it goes you still carry on. You are the problem.

Ok, without getting in a pissing match with everybody on here, about he said, she said, which is now what has happened, here is what I would say is the problem. The linkage on the Edelbrock web site is different than what Mancini sells, so it would be kind of hard to figure out. Now the picture on Mancinis web site is WRONG, I told them it was wrong a year or so ago. They will email that same picture to people to see how this goes together,and they themselves don't know how it is supposed to work. Now since they haven't changed it, that tells me they don't give a sh*t. I had the same problems myself cause the service manual is not like this.The OE setup is different. We are dealing with trying to adapt Chevy parts to a Mopar application.Ok, now about the people trying to help the OP, and all of this back, and forth pain and anguish could have been avoided in if he would just have picked up the phone, and called me,like I asked, cause I have already pulled my hair over this same thing.
