Actually, it was more like a leap with a quick spin and a triple-2-barrel blast.

Sorry, I got excited, just had coffee, and am going out to test some bigger jets I just installed in my....Holley's.




Good for you. Do you have real Holleys, or the Mopar versions (of the Ford STYLE) from the old catalogs that you mentioned earlier?

There are three options that I'm aware of, Indy two piece with the six pak lid, custom made sheet metal intake and the last is the old Weiand Super Stock cast aluminum two piece semi tunnel ram six pak intakes.IHTHs





You're forgetting one Cab, the Eldebrock STR-14 with the six pack top.


Oops, your correct, my memory is horrible:o I have seen pictures of them but never owned or work on one of them Another option would be a tunnel ram with a homemade top like Sixpak Gut used lots of options when you wnat to make your own

Your memory isn't horrible, Cab - we all skip a beat now and then.

And to get really off the wall, wasn't there an Offy or Weiand intake that used Rochester carbs? OOPS those would be GM style wouldn't they.

I run a STR-14-6 with mechanical carbs. The motor is a .060 over 440 w/ Eddy heads, 10.7 cr, and a Comp hydraulic in a 66 Coronet. I bought the STR partly because I was told "It will never work". I didn't believe that. I'm knocking on the 10 second door w/ a best of 11.03 @ 119. I'm working on a weight loss program......

Red Sled, you have a PM

I'd love to hear some details about the times run with the Weiand tunnel ram. I tried this unit, and had some trouble with a bog (using stock style 6-pack carbs). I ran it on a 3700 pound Road Runner with 4.30 gears, a 3800RPM converter, and a modified stock motor with a .575 Comp roller cam. It was modified per the Mopar Engine book. It ran great once it got over a bog between the idle and secondary metering systems. Have you guys had this same issue? Were your set-ups anywhere near the ones mentioned in the book? Tom

I always wonder when I see a car with a 6 barrel that has a slightly low MPH to the ET if it's running out of air/carburetion. A setup up like yours would be easy to swap to a 2X4 barrel top with a pair of 600's for a good comparison. I'm not saying anything is wrong with your combo - it runs real hard - just curious about if it could use a little more air.

No, it was fuel. The air was a little better than I thought it was, as I found out later. I should have fattened it 2 jet sizes. I ran an hour later, w/no changes and ran 11.09 @ 120.4. The DA had went up 400 feet. I just keep chipping away at it and also have a good time.

its not the carbs, its the intakes. and IMO, i personally dont see me gaining much if anything on my combo if i bolted on a dominator

The PM didn't come through.

I had the bog issue when I ran the stock intake and carbs. I put put metering blocks in the outboard carbs so I could jet them, and put a bigger pump squirter in the center carb. A #35 squirter, #88 jets in both outboards w/ purple springs #68 jets in the center carb worked for my combo.

Sixpackgut, I agree with you on that......I could run 1 4bbl. and maybe go a little quicker and faster, but I don't want to be like everybody else!

I don,t think I have any problem with my carbs either, I ran at thunder road this sat first full quarter passes on my car with 4.56s and 28.5 effective ht on my wore out 325 -50 15 mickey thompson radials in 4 passes I could never get it to hook but ran 99+mph on every pass at the 660' and 121+mph every pass at the 1220' my et suffered from the spinning with a best 1.67 60' 10.93 et ,my 60' is usually low 1.50s The problem lies with my intake being a (dual plane) stock style-stock port window-mill with runners as crooked as polititions are famous for being. I have no "six boggers" on my ride very much Thanks to Mr. Cab and Mr. Ray (sixpackgut) helping me learn to tune it, although I can,t see a big difference in my holley 2 bbls and holley 4 bbls wich use the same parts. I would be willing anyday to let anyone switch it to a 4-bbl settup with a similar intake as mine and see if it will pick-up any et and I would be willing to bet they will be dissapointed with the results. I would simply like to try the best for the buck single plane intake under my very reliable six pack.

My pump gas 518 with the Eddy low deck dual plane six pak intake with a set of 1970 440 vacume carbs modified by C&J engr. has gone as quick as 10:34 at 128.6 MPH running out of fuel from the hit of the throotle to the finish line according to the LM1 wide ban I put on it. That is with me in it at 3450 Lbs and with the air cleaner and mufflers on it I fixed the fuel delivery issue and then broke a roller lifter before getting the AFR perfect I loves six paks carbs systems BB Mopars love all the air you can feed them

Cab,

You might benefit from running the larger center carb. I purchased a 500CFM Holley Carb with the full round air cleaner horn on top. We installed the six pack carb throttle arm and milled the air cleaner bell to the same size as our 6-pack carbs. It definately shoots more fuel.

Before trying it myself, I borrowed a friend's set up. My car picked up two tenths with just this mod. Tom
