Shooper,

I've never seen one in any catalogue.

I know what you mean, I've looked through all my catalogs, really don't want to mess around with matching carburators and linkage...Guess I'll see if I can make one..Thanks

That adapter is available from TD performance for less. I think I have one on a shelf, I'll try to take a pic.

Thanks Cris..saw the one at TD, but did't see a price..Couldn't locate the one at American Classic...Just kinda wanted to get rid of this gas guzzeling 1bl, my original carb rotted away, so I bought this aftermarket at Advanced Auto Parts..Runs OK out of the box,but sometimes I think I could accelerate faster by pushing the truck. Like to see a pic, and let me know if you want to get rid of it..

A long time ago on stovebolt there was this guy name Phat and he was pretty much a jerk to everyone, but I liked him and he was to the point.
He ran a 500 cfm 2 bbl holley 2300 and drove like a maniac claiming it was the best carb ever made, blah blah blah

I put a 350 cfm holley 2300 on that I picked up from a circle tracker for $100, fabricated the linkage and loved it; less anemic than the one bbl, but with split exhaust and a home made HEI I was getting 18 mpg with stock 54 car gearing, made an excellent daily driver.

Not sure what year truck you have, if its an AD, get a 53 pedal with the V8 linkage and it is a lot easier than fabbing the rods. I spent hours making the linkage rods and should have made a copy of it before I gave it to a guy buying a 54 wagon from me.

I think I paid 10 bucks for the adapter at my local speed shop, but it may have been $16.

Chris
