Thanks John. . .

John,

Thanks a bunch for the picture and the info. You mentioned a few things that interest me a great deal about this intake. . . I will try and respond point for point:

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?

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. . ?

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

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.

Thanks,
Nathan
