41/53dodges Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 does anybody know if a 2-barrel intake was ever made for the flathead? i found a really wierd carb at the boneyard today, and would love to use it if i can hook it up. any ideas? Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Yes,round about in 1956 they did. Here's one. And here's one in my 42 Coupe Edited April 25, 2011 by Reg Evans Quote
Greenbomb Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Not to hijack, but what advantage does the 2 barrel have over the single. Maybe more specifically, how does it give the advantage? I'm not too savvy on the finer points and tune up aspects of things. Quote
greg g Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 factrory HP was 125 for 1bbl, 132 for 2bbl, more air, more fuel, more power. Quote
YukonJack Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 If someone has an extra one for a 218 - 230 with or without carb they want to sell I would probably be interested also. Quote
41/53dodges Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Posted April 27, 2011 i might just have to build a manifold... Quote
Robert Horne Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Build a manifold. Check with Moose on this forum. He has built several different intake and exhaust manifolds. Quote
