stewdecky Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I thought you guys would like to see some pics of my Dual Carter BB set up. I just got it installed today and will get the exhaust done tommorrow. Charlie @ Rusty Hope did my manifolds and did a wonderful job, I would reccommend him if you are going this direction. My linkage was from George Ashse and the install was fairly straight forward. The info i recieved from you guys and doing searchs on this sight made it a lot eaisier for me. What a great forum.

hkestes41 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Stewdecky Looks good, are those aircleaners of your own design? Do you have any pics of your A/C condensor bracket? I will be installing my A/C along with a new 230 shortly and will need to fab a bracket. Will be running a finned aluminum head so can't really run a bracket off the head bolts like the stock bracket that was on the 57 Plymouth 230 I bought, but at least I have the dual pulleys now.

Reg Evans Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Looks nice - where did you get your air cleaners? Yes......what hkestes41 and Lefebvre said. Where did the air cleaners come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48Dodger Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I can't see where your throttle linkage is coming from....looks almost like its coming from the back of the engine. Can I ask you to post a picture of the linkage?? The engine, btw, looks awesome. 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdecky Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm glad you like my air cleaners. I teach Industrial Tech. Classes in the High School and we do a little aluminium casting. They are a home made styrofoam investment cast of my design cast in aluminium. They are a little pitted when you look close but i thought they turned out nice. The bases are Mr. Gasket #1419. The linkage for the throttle is a standard46 dodge truck linkage with linkage setup from George Ashse for the carbs. It bolts over the bell housing to get it on the left side of the engine campartment so really tough to get a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdecky Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Also to answer you request for the air conditioner pics. This bracket is a home made bracket that bolts down to the top of the head bolts so i don't know if it will work for an finned head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefebvre Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Would you consider casting another one, and if so - how much would you charge? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Actually how about a D24/5 labled one and a P15 labled one, and a plain one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdecky Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I will have to think this over as they are time consuming and sometime you spend a lot of time making the styrofoam mold and then the casting does't turn out and then you are back to making another mold. What would it be worth to you guys?? did you notice the ram head block off plate on the original carb mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefebvre Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's your time - you tell us how much you're willing to do it for - I have no idea how much effort that is, but it's very nice work - even if it is pitted like you said - it's custom. No I didn't notice the ram head, but that's real nice too. Put a dollar figure out there - we're either interested or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Is it not possible to make a wood mold that could be reused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 or sand or plaster?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bracket is a home made bracket that bolts down to the top of the head bolts so i don't know if it will work for an finned head. I just had an epiphany - I will use the head bolts with the drilled and tapped head for attaching the battery ground. Bolt the bracket to the headbolt and it will hopefully clear the fins on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdecky Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 It would probably take $75 a piece to do the air cleaner tops and you could buy the Mr. Gasket air breathers to put them on and that would be made to your specs and sanded and polished the best I can. If you didn't like them you could send them back and i would refund your money. What do you think? I am not a pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
