Everyone trots that out as if it were some sort of valid test, but they were too cheap and/or lazy to get a couple of strip kits to calibrate the carbs, they said the engine was running 10.9:1 a/f ratio, i.e. way too rich.




I have one on the rack and have run it, looking to buy one?

Edelbrock TM with a TQ spanks its rear pretty hard, did on my ride.

This intake is good for a cruiser, all I'd use it for. Any decent single four will make more power and be less trouble.

Don't need another one- see my above post, I bought mine for a blower project that has gone by the wayside. I never said it was a great manifold, but that "test" was crap.

OK,I see what you see, remember the 600s only have 1 metering block and a short bowl.My offy is 70s and has removable carb flanges with a dual BP, it is for an RB.maybe they changed it?

I've got a low deck deck version here right now and there is NO way a pair of Holley carbs will fit inline


That is the Offy dual quad intake that acts and looks like a single plane intake withe a divider down the middle, none of those type intakes I have work on or drove work very well with progressive carb. linkage One to one carb. linkage did help but still a little lazy down low, under 2500 RPM I haven't treid any of the new Eddy 2x4 in line dual plane looking intakes, they may be better

OK cool, I've got the spacers around here somewhere, but they don't have any offset on the center->center. I'll take your word the 600s will fit inline. I've wondered if they would work better with a pair of spacers. Here's a shot of the Offy manifold that ended up in the car- still a work in progress. It made 472 hp, 489 ft/lbs with a small Thumper cam and mildly ported RPM heads on a 9.8:1 .030 over stock stroke 400. That was just getting a basic tune on the dyno.

You are showing a center pivot float Model 4150 carb. The side pivot float fuel bowls are much shorter, plus the 4160 doesn't have a secondary metering block. Your picture proves nothing.
