Here we have dual deuces mounted on a vintage Edelbrock intake... Note the cast linkage arms...a Grigg treatment, borrowed from the Diesel world. The arms have the same on center measurement as the old home-made arms that came with the intake. Grigg sleeved the heim joint side of the arms for a tighter fit.
Overhead shot of engine bay with Tom Langdon's 'lamp-top' air cleaners. I replaced the threaded rod (metric) with SAE so I could use the polished brass finials.
Driver's side pic. Buffalo Steve fabbed on the four bolt plates on this 50's period Edelbrock intake. Note the horseshoe used to negotiate around the rear electric choke. This rod cannot be eliminated as it provides support to the inner and outer fenders and helps to allign the hood. Heat provided to the intake via a home-made plate on the bottom of the Edelbock intake, this plenum was plumbed to the Fentons.
This project could not have been accomplished without the invaluable help of Sweet (who kept me from losing my mind at times, and was there from start to finish) and Grigg III who had constructive suggestions and technical help throughout the project. For more thankyous on the project see the ODSS Homecoming post in the Events Section.
I recently returned from a 1K round trip from Charlottesville, VA to upstate NY and averaged 18.7 mpg at mostly 65-75 mph.
So worth the effort.
