Building a 2056 and almost complete with it except for carb rebuilding and a few other details. Going with dual Dell 40's.
My gasket kit came with what I will call "spacers" that are used between cylinder head and FI runners. Do I (should I) use these when mounting my carb manifolds? I did not use them on a bus engine I built years and years ago and it ran well - for a very long time so I am tempted to go without them, but thought I would ask. If there is significant good reason to use them, where do I find the seemingly very (very) thin gaskets that go on each side of them (head side & manifold side)? I ordered intake manifolds from Pelican but them seem a bit thick (I can use them if I choose not to use the "spacers"). Also have a few questions about accelerator cable and carb base plates. Can I re-use the cable that is in the car (it was injected and ran well)? If yes, is there an "off the shelf" bracket to mount it on the engine such that it operates the cross bar linkage? And finally (for now) does the cross bar linkage go on the front or back of the carbs (depending on base plate orientation)? Pics of your carb'ed set-up might really help me out here so if you got 'em, please feel free to use 'em. |

I have had the hex bar linkage on my car for 13 years. When it got kind of loose, I changed it by modifying the air cleaner base plates so heim joint ends could be bolted on. I did this about 7 years ago and have been really happy with it. There is absolutely no play in the linkage and the throttle butterflies open fully and at the same rate. This thread helped. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=91831&st=0
