drummin 52, welcome.

I read that you have an intake already and it's setup for a 4bbl.

I thought I should forward that it was suggested to me that if I wanted a few more style points I could do more or less the same thing with the substitution of 2 single barrel throttle bodies on a multi carb manifold (ie offy dual carb).

It was suggested that if you wired one throttle body up with the idle air control, plugged it off in the other you could run straight linkage between the two TBI units the computer wouldn't know the difference.

I mention this as you spoke of astetics being one of your motivating factors (since 2 'carbs' look cooler than 1 ).

If you are interested I will try to find where I was told that (it was on here).

I haven't tried this, I have a 1950 Jimmy with the OE 228 I have been toying with the idea of doing this with. That and moving that smelly gas tank out of the cab.

Of course that's not happening any time soon (too much other stuff going on at the moment).


My, what a steep learning curve. Erik II#5155
