Hello all,

Had a couple questions and update. My good ol 1959 3800 successfully pulled my 1953 37' spartan trailer (6000 + lbs) from Arkansas to Kansas.

my older brother has a new chevy avalanche and said I'd never make it, but we did (after some hours in a parking lot - forgot to tell him about that grin )

However it was slow so I gave in (i.e. indulged) and bought a edlebrock 1405 4 bbl carburator after the salesman at autozone said this nifty little adapter made by spectre (which I bought also) would make the 4bbl carb fit to my 2bbl manifold.

Guess what. It doesn't. So for the big question. Is there a better adapter to fit a 1405 4bbl edelbrock in place of a 2bbl Rochester on a 283 V-8 2bbl manifold?

Or does anyone know where I could get an old cast iron 4bbl manifold that would fit?

I think I'd rather have the old cast iron rather than the new aluminum ones. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jacob
