In creating this spotters guide for Flathead Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler, Desoto, Fargo intakes

my hope was to show related information, pictures of various intakes, and attach any technical information

and perhaps vintage ads for them.

I am starting it here in hopes of putting something together with the help of many members and then maybe move it to the technical archives.

.

Why do it here ? Only because I or someone can edit and compile.

#2 Nicson Engineering

Nicson Engineering was we believe the very 1st aftermarket maker of dual carb intakes for the Plymouth and Dodge 23 1/2" motors. The 1st generation with several markings including the "Volumetric", and "Plymouth Dodge Cars" as well as "Plymouth dual Dodge" was for the earlier smaller 2 bolt Carter ball and ball carbs. The one pictured below was never mounted on an engine and was the only one I have ever seen.

Here is that Nicson intake, now cleaned up, mounted with 1938 Plymouth carbs, nice new stainless linkage all done by

George Asche - AoK racing and heading out to be a new piece of jewelry for a 1938 p6 Plymouth !

The 2nd generation intake Nicson made was for the Chrysler, Desoto and Dodge truck 25 1/2" block as well as and intake for the "Super Big Block" engines up to and including the 377 and 413 ci engine.

The 3rd generation intake was for the for the Plymouth and Dodge 23 1/2" motors taking the bigger Carter ball and ball carbs.

Next the picture of a Tattersfield and a Nicson dual carb Plymouth and Dodge (23 1/2" flathead)

Here is the Tattersfield circa 1950

I have also seen a Nicson triple made as a "Chrysler Special" for the 25 1/2" block engines, but never took a picture of it. That was back in the early 70's, well before the camera on every cell phone era and have not seen one since.

Here is the October 1952 Hop Up Magazine on Hopping up the Plymouth with some really positive endorsement of Nicson

#2 The Coolest Funky looking intake - Tattersfield Power Equipment

This intake came only in small block form for the Plymouth and Dodge (23 1.2" flathead)

It came in 2 different generations. The 1st pictured with the Nicson intake and the 2nd generation pictured

with carbs on it. Notice the linkage tabs on the 2nd generation intake.

A later Tattersfield intake / exhaust combo with linkage. Note the intake has linkage tabs like Edmunds did on his later dual intake manifolds. As well a picture of a Tatterfield Aluminum head - all for the Plymouth and Dodge (23 1/2" flathead) & a letter from Tattersfield on their performance equipment.

The Tattersfield instruction page with linkage illustration and picture of the Tattersfield intake with carb on it

Some earlier Tatterfield literature, followed by the later which referenced  Mopar in the later 1940s

\

Notice the reference to the Electric and Carburetor Engineering Company. 

 This is a picture of the inside of the Electric and Carburetor Engineering Company  from a  1951 (courtesy of a P15d24 Member 50Plymouth) .  Ive seen it referenced elsewhere as a Calendar shot from 1942 although a couple of items in that picture would date it much later

In the display end of the counter is what I believe to be the  the 2nd generation Chrysler six cylinder intake (top intake)
