hello all, i am new here. i have been on the stovebolt forum for a while, but the members there tend to like their stovebolts stock. i like to make mine less reliable and leak more. anyway, i bought a 3x1 offy intake w/ 3 matched rochesters and am having a hell of a time applying a progressive linking system. not to mention the rear carb is hitting the fire wall (51 p/u). does anyone have a 2x1 with carbs and linkage they would be willing to part with or 3 matched carbs with linkage that are not rochesters? maybe carter, etc? thank you for looking. look forward to meeting good folks here -DVZ

Will an offset carb spacer work for you on your firewall issue. What problems are you having with your progressive linkage.

What is the orientation of the butterfly shafts? (parallel with the head is most common) . . . There are carb stand-offs that rotate the carbs 90 degrees so that the butterfly shafts are perpendicular to the head - this makes progressive throttle linkage designs much easier to set up.

yes, yes, yes ken. where did you find those? i was going to have a buddy try and machine them for me. do you have some or know where i can get them? they are exactly what i need and will act as a phenolic spacer as well. -DVZ

cnc-dude, the rear carb isn't actually hitting the fire wall, but all the of our application ideas for linkage were. the above rotators will help tremendously. thanks for the replies guys. i posted this on 3 other forums and got only opinions for responses. i.e. "go with different carbs" "linkage isn't that hard to make"-DVZ

It is still important to insulate them if you can - keeps the gas from boiling off / overflowing into the intake on a hot shut down.

ken, you are the man. thanks for the link. i endlessly searched the internet and figured i would machine them as well. there is a guy on the HAMB that got blocks of aluminum cut, sawed, filed with a hand file. (20 hrs on each). i told him you found some on the net and he wanted the link too. suprising that these aren't more common. thanks again -DVZ
