  1. Anyone know what size these are for a B2B?
  2. How did you guys deal with push rod? The stock is too long (it could cut down) and “fat” (diameter too large).
  3. BTW, I’ve asked Charles Akers, AKA, “Rusty Hope,” and maker of my kit, to get me a part number for the one he used. Hopefully we can get this pinned down and folks don’t have to keep reinventing the wheel…
  4. That Rock Auto MC sure looks like the one I took back to Napa today. If it isn’t too much trouble can you measure it from flange to nose?
  5. Not sure but I think it was about a 2000. So, if I understand it, you measured from the end of the MC to the flat part of the flange where it bolt to the bell housing. Correct?
  6. I’m also trying to use the Toyota Corolla MC on my B2B. As you say, the bolt hole pattern is almost right on. However, the MC cylinder is about 1” too long and doesn’t clear the steering column. Did you have this issue and, if so, what was your fix?
  7. I picked up a couple of B&B’s at the swap meet the other day and I can’t identify the vehicle(s) they came on. Hoping someone out there can. The numbers are: E6K4 and C6F5. Any ideas?
  8. I’m doing the same thing except a triple carb setup. I’m going to have the flanges CNC’d locally and weld ‘em to steel pipe. Haven’t decided if I’ll do a “log” design like your illustration or something where each intake port has its own curved pipe and a smaller pipe connects the three intakes, making a balance tube.
  9. I think these gears are extremely hard to locate now. I looked for several years. I ended up going with a 1997 Ford Ranger (same lug pattern) 3.73 axle. Other than re-positioning the spring perches it was pretty straight forward.
  10. Has anyone here installed a dual chamber MC with remote reservoirs on a Pilothouse?
  11. I was just re-reading a very old thread where George Asche and Tim Kingsbury were going to start casting dual and triple carb manifolds for the 25” and 23” flatheads. I don’t think they ever produced any of the triples for the smaller engine but they apparently did make some for the 25” engine. At one point in the development I understand they were considering the pros and cons of casting the bosses to accommodate the linkage for both a car and truck application. Don’t know if they actually did this but, if so, did anyone on the Forum actually ever put one of these on a Pilothouse truck?
  12. I understand throat size figures into this but, generally speaking, does anyone know the cfm rating of the Carter B&B carburetor?
