I fought with the Offy 2x intake and two Holley/Webers before and I've decided to go with the stock intake and one carb. Of course, nothing lines up. What are your ideas on:
1. Orientation of carb to intake. I was thinking of having the accelerator mechanism on the valve cover side.
2. I have the aluminum adaptor from single to 2bbl installed. Do I also need the black block that goes between the intake and the carb?
3. Does anyone have a solution to make the stock accelerator arms work with this setup? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 571 | I'm doing exactly what you described right now. Tom Langdon says that the fuel bowl should be in the front so it does not starve for gas when cornering. When I get it all together tomorrow, I'll snap some pics for ya. That is, if it works.  Have you got the linkage kit for it? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 375 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 375 | I just left the Langdon site where I ordered the single carb linkage. Does it work ok? Thanks for the picture offer. That should help.
Are you using the stock intake with headers? If so, are you going to heat the intake? Water or exhaust? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 | I have the single setup Holley/Weber 5200 setup on my truck. Have pictures of Tom Langdon's trick linkage kit and the orientation of the carb, adaptor, and linkage on my website.
The H/W setup worked flawlessly....linkage was slick and the whole setup very reasonable. His linkage sells for $35.00 with everything you need except return springs. Hope this helps!!!
