Fabricating some of the missing part was also something challenging at the start but ended up to be fun trying to find ways to build them based on old pictures. |
You did a fine job working out the "J" bars for the throttle lever extensions- clever solution! Now that you've shown the details, it would be relatively easy to replicate on other dual carb systems that have a similar principle.
So, how does this beastie run? Smooth, stronger acceleration, noticeable improvement with passing ability, and top speed? |

what a nice job you did sorting out all the issues!
That 'crossbar style' linkage is the best design I've seen for this type of application, be design it's insensative to engane expansion, which you can't say for the many of the other designs. Great job in coming up with a solution to the missing links, too.
I have a question about your cast aluminum Autochnik intake manifolds: The bulge in the center, is there a greater volume than just a straight pipe?
