Dual Carb Linkage Kit?

[chop]

Do all you guys that run dual carbs have custom linkages or is there a kit you can buy that will work? I have a Fenton intake with Carter BB's.

Thanks,

Bryan

Contact George Asche. His number can be found in the links section. He can supply what you need.

I used the kit that came with my Offenhauser intake.  It was pretty flimsy so I had to customize it a bit. 

George Asche is a good resource, also search the forum, I remember finding a lot of info on this subject a

while back.

I fabricated mine similar to Don C's set up from hardware store items and three small heim joints from a go cart supply place.

Gents,

 

I've never used George Asche's products but from the accolades he receives here I would feel quite safe doing so.  If you're wanting to fab your own an often over-looked source of parts is a hobby shop that specializes in radio control stuff.  Some model aircraft are being made so large that the ball joints, bearings, etc, have become industrial strength.

The ACE hardware stores in my area carry all types of rod end fittings.  Some heim style and some as the original linkage rod ends.

Harley Davidson linkages and some left over stock pieces. Worked fine, 1940 Pontiac sedan with an L6. Same carb spacing as a 2x1 Mopar manifold.

Farbicated my own with parts from four corners of the earth. It was a fun project.

George Asche did mine and I have no complaints.

Mark I like your set up.  What did you use for the center rod that connects to the accelerator linkage?  Looks like some type of an arm off an carburetor. 

[Mark D]

Steve that's exactly what it is. I did have to use a 5/16 drillbit to round out the hole, But it works pretty good. The center rod I manufactured from some Home Depot steel rod That I cut to length And threaded And I transferred all the original hardware from the factory pull rod. There's a photograph comparing the one I made with the oringal on my upgrade thread...

Thanks for the info.  Problem I'm having is getting the carbs synched.  With the Offenhauser linkage I modified it a bit to make sure both throttle plates move when I hit the gas.  It isn't the best set up anyway, and now when I adjust one carb it makes the other one move and throws off my adjustments.  Tried doing it seperately with the linkage disconnected and that worked well, but once hooked back up it does it again.  Going to try to hook it up the way you have it with individual throws for each carb rather than having both throttle plates connected together, and having the accelerator hooked up to the back carb, which is supposed to move both. 

 

I'm leaving Friday morning early for Jackson, TN, so hoping to get it figured out by then.  I ordered the kit from Pierce and awaiting patiently for it to arrive.

If you get jammed up I'm an hour outside of Jackson, and I have a tow dolly. Assuming you are driving the Plymouth? PM me before you leave if you want my phone number just in case.

[steveplym]

Hey Scruffy, thanks for the help.  Yep I'm driving the Plymouth.

[steveplym]

I received the linkage kit from Pierce on Wednesday of last week.  Worked on it on Thursday and got it installed.

Left Friday morning and made it down to Jackson.  I was able to get the carbs synched and it ran great.  I really like this

set up a lot more.  Much better throttle response.

 

Here's some pics.

Here's an old photo of the linkage I built for my dual carb setup with Carter-Webers.  Admittedly a little over the top, but it had to reverse the direction from a pull to a push setup.
