blueskies Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Pete, same thing with mine, I just removed them as quick as I could and then did the valve adjustments Too bad... it would be so much easier if they just stood off the block a tad more. I'm due for a valve adjustment, and I'm dreading it. I'm not only going to have to pull the intake and exhaust out, but the heater and heater duct too. I can't even get my hand down in there as it is... When I get the manifolds off, I think I'm going to try and replace the thumb-bolts for the tappet covers with studs and nuts. I think I may be able to get the covers on and off if I don't have to pull out the long bolt which is right behind one of the header tubes. If this works, I will put the manifolds back on, and then do the valve adjustment hot. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpn23748 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I thought mine was a pain to do, but yours with the heater box would not be fun at all Too bad... it would be so much easier if they just stood off the block a tad more.I'm due for a valve adjustment, and I'm dreading it.

n1gzd_plymouth Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I meant the bracket. I think this one is from a 25incher... Moose, I am not sure i understand. I assume that you don't mean the bracket that I already have (that no longer has a place to mount). Can you please help me understand what you are referring to? Thanks, Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I've got a stock linkage kinda like yours, that you can use to make a new linkage(and save your original stuff) I'm sure we could mount it to the side of your new manifold somehow.

n1gzd_plymouth Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I see. I will let you know. If there is a way to bolt it to the manifold then there would be all kinds of ways to do this (including just fabricating something). I will let you know, thanks, for the offer. I am kind of squeamish about the idea of drilling any holes in that manifold (don't want to). Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) If you are going to fabricate plates that go under the carb, the rear one could be made large enough to facilitate mounting the bell crank bracket. Or you might try to use a couple of manifold studs. Remember the rods are going to need to be modified as the postion of the rear carb will be closer to the fire wall than the center mounted single carb if you look at one of the posted pics with the red engine, the plate under the carbs are fairly simple using heim hoints to carry the linkage rod. The rear plate could perform a similar funtion to carry the bracket. Edited February 8, 2010 by greg g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodSquad48 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've got a Sharp dual carb setup w/ homemade linkage, its pretty basic and looks like it would be simple to fab. I'll snap some pictures tonight and post them for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
