An oldie but goodie. The old 6 pack did great in town or for some simple light cruising and you didn't burn a ton of gas either because it keep you running off the center 2 barrel carb. That changed once you stomped on the throttle though. You could literally watch that fuel guage needle drop like a lead brick. Hard to believe that when I was a kid, we use to hear people bragging about 12 and 13 mpgs.
Back in the day I had a 1972 Vega GT hatchback, yeah I know a Vega? Well Motion Performance, was building V8 Vegas and had a V8 swap kit that wasn't all that expensive. You needed to find a rear to fit, which also wasn't that hard. Small block Chevy's, 283, 327 and 350 where everywhere and cheap too. Edelbrock had a 3 2bbl & 2 4bbl manifold for the small block. Wanted to do it, but never did. There was nothing like a Vega rolling by with the rumble of a small block.
Mr Stacy I really enjoy the video about the tri power carb setup I have a question. I have a Ford mustang 200 I was planning on putting a Offenhauser 5205 on which takes 3 single barrel carbs is there a kits to rebuild a single barrel carb to eliminate the choke and the fuel air screws like in the video you showed, with the 3 duces. I was told it a good setup but tuning the carbs are a pain, the way you had talked there is minimal if any tuning to the outside carbs. Thanks for the help.
So just some clarification on the 500 end carbs ... I also have a 340 Six-Pack set up .. looking for some spare ends 500 carbs original parts numbers are 0-4790 rear and 0-4789 front .. i found both but between the price to buy and restore is crazy.. so I purchased a new center from Holley 0-4792 350 CFM .. I see they no longer remanufacture the end 500 carbs for the 340.. so I have been looking at the 500 CFM carbs for the 440 engine 69/70 Holley 0-4365 and the 1971 440 engine 0-4672 .. I've been told the 69/70 has a different style metering plate and the 71 has the same style metering plate that my 340 end carbs have in them, just a different jet size. Question: will either of the 440 end carbs work on my modified 340 ? and if so should I go with the 69/70 or the 71 carbs? Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone who has dealt with this scenario. Thanks
2:20 Can I just use any Rochester 2G/2GC as the main? Shouldn't there be a specific jet size be required to plonk it on the Edelbrock with its two slaves? From what I know they come in sizes between 0.044 and 0.073 - which to me seems significant enough to make a difference...
Hey Stacey David, maybe a dumb question but will any 2 barrel Rochester carbs work or is it a specific type/year that I need to look for? I found a guy that has several 2 barrel Rochester's of various years that I can purchase from but I don't want to waste money if it has to be a specific year/type carb. Thanks for the video and the input. Anticipating trying this tri-power out on my sbc 350!
The primary carb isn't as particular, but the secondaries are usually specific. You can buy them already set up to be used as secondaries from some companies.
There were some factory 6-pack manifolds for the Mopar small block in the Challenger T/A and AAR 'Cuda, but they're expensive and hard to find. I'm not sure if anyone makes them in the aftermarket.
@@OfficialStaceyDavid thanks Stacey. I found a complete stock set up for 1200 bucks. Going to put it on a AAR 340, and stick it in a 73 barn find road runner. Taking the stock 318 out. I don't know why they put those 318 puss buckets in a road runner, but I'm fixing that problem, lol.
Well actually 2v carbs are cfm rated different than 4v carbs … 1350 cfm 2v = 955 cfm 4v … still tons of air and fuel ⛽️ still way cool looking … lots of hot rods also run block off plates for the extra carbs (e.g 8 x 94’s is 2 x 94’s) … all the looks and just enough carb for a stock motor … cfm needed = (cubic inches x max rpm) / 3456 and the conversion from 2v to 4v is cfm x 0.7071 …

I've never owned or worked on a VW, but my aunt had one when I was a kid, it was a beautiful blue 1974 Beetle
G'day from Oz, Stacey. I only just found out about your channel today. Really helpful for the GM-V8 novice. 👌👍
Glad it was helpful!
Very cool, have always liked that set up!! 👍👍

I love the shaker hoods on muscle cars!
Stacey David you rock man
Thank you!
The most famous was Ford's 401 1961... It came out to beat Pontiac and it did.
I wouldn't mind a dual quad setup on my Cleveland
Way to go Frank, 2 cool 😎 VW cars 🚗

What size jets did you use in the tri-power 94s? Also, would you run that same progressive setup on top of a blown GM 350?

I always thought two four barrels was a better deal and easier to sink..,.😊

I know that I'm changing the subject here, but what are you going to do with the 345 cu inch engine that you took out of the International tow truck

How about dual Quads (2 4 barrel carburetors)
Can you get the manifold in a small block dodge?? I'm doing a 340 magnum for a 73 road runner.

👍👍
You have probably rebuilt carbs so many times that you could do it blindfolded
When you open the throttle with tri-power carburetors you better have a full tank of fuel also
Where in the hell..... you can't find any two barrels anymore!!!!
