whats your thoughts on putting dual single barrel carbs on a stock 1500? It is a single port with 12 volts. 75 amp alt,009,. My parts guy was trying to talk me out of them.i would down the road replace the heads ,pistons, etc. |

I would think they would work fine because it's already a single port! Does it have much cam? _________________ 1960 Beetle And 1679cc DP W-100 & Dual Zeniths! |

Ok this is the thing. My gen died. So got a alt. Got every nut and screw off but the bottom right side of backing plate on fan shroud. Which is a flat head screw driver type bolt that is round so i cant get anything onto it the intake is in the way.so was thinking cutting off the manifold and upgrade a little. |

Just get the screw out. You won't be saving time upgrading to duals. _________________ EMPI Power Rules! |

Also i tried the needle nose vice grips but the bolt in there is a rounded off type and the metal lip on the fan cover sticks out. Making it hard to get a good bite on it. |

If you're in a daily driven hurry, switching to dual carbs and trying to tune them on the side of the road does not save you work release time. _________________

So im thinking nobody has had any luck with this set up? I had a set back in the 80's.... thought it ran great.. but then again it was the 80's and don't remember much. Button south? Anyone? No keep it on the topic..
Button was cool though. |
