I'm using the Weber Redline hex bar kit
Should the hex bar go towards the front of the car or towards the rear? So i've been digging through old posts, and it appears that people have done both. It seems like going towards the front of the car puts it close to stuff like the dizzy etc, but with plenty of room towards the rear. Any thoughts? |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I hate to tell you--but the hex bar link is a pain in the ass- and it does not work as well as it should.
I switched to the Scat industries parrallel link--it is like the ones which originally came with many weber dual conversion kits years ago. It has a center pivot which bolts to the case front and then actuates the carb links along the top of the case--very clean install, and very good looking. You can not go wrong with this link---with that said The pivot arms go to the front of the carbs, and you will have to rig up some sort of device to turn the cable 180 degrees out,,,this is because the actuating arm is opening the carbs with a rearward action, instead of just pulling it as you would believe it should. This was another reason why I went to the scat bar.....good luck |
