Thats 1 way to fix a 6 bogger - run the Ford carbs with accelerator pumps in the end carbs.

Them ain't no Ford carbs. Those are a set of the original aftermarket six pak carbs for whatever you wanted to put them on They make more power on the engine dyno than the OEM carbs do, even modified by a good carb shop

They may not be FORD carbs, but they sure aren't Mopar (STYLE) carbs. Not with pumps in the end carbs, no vacuum seconday pods, full mechanical throttle linkage, and the fuel inlets on the linkage side. And, yes I'm aware of the accel pump conversion kits for the ends, but that still leaves the fuel inlets on the other side of the carb, like the FORDS.

The key word is "Holley aftermarket carbs" for sale over the counter for 340,440 six paks and Corvette Tri Power, not for Fords. The Ford carbs where turn around so the fuel bowls would not hit the distributor is what I remember on the 1962 and 1963 406 Ford Tri Power cars I seem to remember some of the 1969 A12 440 6 pak cars having drivers side fuel inlet also, is that true? Any of the real A12 guys on here?

They ARE Mopar carbs..... Kinda. They were sold by Mopar's Direct Connection back in the day. Check out one of the old catalogues. Excellent performance and drivability AND no idle circuit headaches in the outboards.

Without seeing the numbers on the carbs, I call them Ford carbs because that is the configuration that Ford ran in STOCK 3x2 form - fuel inlets on the linkage side, mechanical linkage, and accel pumps in ind carbs. Mopar carbs in STOCK form had vacuum pods (and no accel pumps)on the end carbs, and the fuel inlets on the pod sides. I guess I should have known to say Ford TYPE or Mopar TYPE to eliminate the nit-picking and hair spliting.

---

Yah, well....they're Holley carbs, and Ford is a four-letter-word around these parts. Besides, it's those Chevy carbs that had the vacuum pods and such on them. Mechanical's rule...vacuum sucks!!!

---

You CAN'T be saying that Mopars didn't run vacuum operated end carbs

---

You are correct. I was mocking the reference to the mechanical carbs being referred to as Ford carbs, by referring to the vacuum carbs as Chevy carbs; all while attempting to point out that they are all just Holley carbs. Referencing either kind as one brand or another is ....folly, cuz they're all simply Holley.

You musta skipped over this part out of a post several posts ago - I guess I should have known to say Ford TYPE or Mopar TYPE to eliminate the NITPICKING and HAIR SPLITTING. I never said they weren't Holley BRAND, I was only referring the kinds of cars the different TYPES were usually associated to.

I have a dual plane intake on my car (eddy) now and want to try a single plane. I'm running indy srs mildly ported, best time last year was [Email]6.87@98[/Email] 1/8th car weighs 3550 w me in it. Where do I get one for a six pack or whats the best way to build one?

---

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.

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......

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.

---

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

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.
