RE: Thanks John. . .

To answer your questions as best I can right now:

2) "Offenhauser still offers the correct spacers." If there is any way that you could e-mail or post me a picture of at least these spacers (prefer your whole set-up), I would appreciate it. Also,
which carbs are you running and which distributor? What's the diameter of the dist, and how much room does it have with the spacers?

I called Offenhauser and got a P/N. Ordered them through Sumitt with no problem. Don't have a good pic at this time, but here's a couple old ones (not much detail). I am running a Mallory dual point and there's about 3/4 of an inch to spare I think. Can't measure it today, but the Ford will fit with a little less clearance.

3) "The manifold ports are to high and too narrow." I have seen intakes (such an Edelbrock for a torquey 460) that were designed for maximum velocity and as a result had TINY ports. However,
I wouldn't think that OFFY would make a dual quad this way. Which heads are you running? The
66 & later have a taller floor, maybe it was made for them. . ?

Both sets of Heads I have, have the same port sizes. One set is from a 68 428 and the other form a 74 360 truck engine. One would have to do a LOT of grinding to port match them properly.

4) "You will have to get the correct linkage for the twin carbs." Are you running progressive or
non-progressive?

Progressive

5) ". . , you will have to decrease the size of the idle jets. . " This really does not sound right. Are you sure that your power valves aren't opening at idle? Also, I was not aware that you could change the idle jets on a Holley; they are a machined needle and seat. As such you can only
adjust them. . . Please do correct me if I am wrong.

Both Holleys will provide fuel from the idle circuit. The idle adjusting screws only "fine tune" the amount. The coarse adjustment is always there. Therefore, you get about twice the fuel you need when using twin Holeys originally designed for single unit operation. A profesional shop can rejet them. A home remebdy is to take a fine diameter wire and bend it into a "V" with little "feet" bent at 90 degrees at the ends of the "V". Insert these into the jets to effectively reduce the jet size.

8) "I'd buy another one. In fact. . ." Well, I don't possess this intake yet. However, I do a great deal of trading/swapping. E-mail me and we'll discuss it.

I'm in no rush, however I'm always on the scrounge for a good 428 Crank if the price is right.
