Re: What is a correct tunnel ram linkage?
 

This thread is very interesting. Again, it's been said you have to run center hung fuel bowls when you turn the carbs sideways, but here are two that do not. Also, what's the 45 degree fittings for on the fuel bowls that Paul shows?

Venting trick for maximum fuel flow.

I've had a few sets of 660 Holleys that had the vents on the top of the fuel bowls.

Well the '32 in the movie was as rough as a cobb so I would say Milners linkage would have been coat hanger and welding rod. SRS the car's fabrication and quality level was pee poor even for the time period.

Dave, we'll just have to disagree here. I'll be happy for Tracy whichever he chooses cause this isn't something which should stall the project.

Re: What is a correct tunnel ram linkage?
 

Agreed. This is not a major issue, just wanted to get some ideas of what people were doing back then. I just want to know what was offered or if they were going to the hardware store and making it.
Would still like for someone to weigh in on the side hung fuel bowls on the turned carbs.

Re: What is a correct tunnel ram linkage?
 

I spoke with my friend who does my machine work and he told me they have turned the carbs in the direction Grumpy did. He said with the primary bowl facing the passenger side of the car, the fuel level will move down under acceleration. With the carbs facing the way Grumpy did them, this will not happen. He said the fittings are to vent the bowls and was a trick that worked great.
For what it's worth, he told me the linkage that Dave recommends is the one most everyone bought and used back then.

Your BB tunnel ram coming out of the Vega hood is going to be very &quot;powerful&quot; as is..with the carbs facing sideways it may look top heavy and unsymetrical if that makes sense.

Re: What is a correct tunnel ram linkage?
 

Twin, angled dominators now thats making a statement! IMO the small 660's turned sideways just look weak without the larger bowls, especially on a big block engine. But every body has an opinion or like so its up to the cars owner to decide. Why not just make the final decision after the engine is in and you can put them either way and step back?
