  1. Here is a photo of a Eddy adapter that fits a holly to their 4 Brl manifold , I bought while waiting three months for Edelbrock to tell me there not making any more right now and they won't take this back ,, brand new and never used ,I you want it ,I'll sell it for what I,paid for it
  2. Didn't mean to poke the bear , just what I found and dought , nothing against what you have
  3. I bought a set almost like this off Amazon for 16$ had reverse white lights also
  4. I had this happen once , drove me crazy , ran like crap , back firing popping out he read , then when I got warm it ran fine . Plugs sure didn't help , not words or cap or rotor ,carburator was good , so I stated checking for vacuum leaks . It turned out to be the end carb on a tri power set up , the base gasket had shrunk to a point of a leak , when it got hot it swelled to seal it up . 2.50 cents fixed it .it might not be your problem , but spray carb cleaner on all the carb bases , if the RPMs speed up , that the problem ..
  5. i can find them in a lot of junk yards here too, but no a Eddy or Offy 4 brl manifold. lots of Fiero and citation engines rusting here. even older Cameros. I have talked to Eddy and Offy direct, they both say it's out of production and won't be any start up in the future. If you have a true 4-barrel manifold, name the price
  6. That's all well and good but you can't buy any of these manifolds ,I made a three bolt to four bolt adapter for the Ford autolite carb for the TBI manifold . This two brl carb has the same CFM as the holly 390 . I have looked all over the the Eddy or Offy manifolds, none are for sale and no new ones anymore , I have seen these photos on the web on alot of 2.8 V6 forums , Yes the carb sticks out of the hood , yes I had to cut a hole in the hood ,Yes I'm making a scoop for it and I do all my own painting and body work , in fact I did everything in my shop The frame is much stronger than the book frame I put gussets at every joint ,I wasn't concerned about how light it could be , but how strong it can be where it shows no gussets is because I didn't put them in yet
  7. It is a TBI both Edelbrock and Offenhouser stoped making the four brl manifold , becides the holly 390 CFM is way to expensive. Im the process of making my own low profile manifold .it's really not that hard , jus time and patience. So for now I have a Ford autolite two brl Carbonite with an adapter I made to fit , again not that hard ,just time and patience , An interesting thing is I was about to make the front fenders I went to a place called TRACTOR SUPPLY. They had fenders of all sizes for farm equipment and trailers ,I bought on , set on a wheel and laughed, it fit perfect so I cut it in half to make two , what a time saver that was I haven't had it on the road yet but it runs so sweet , loud as a dragster it has no mufflers just straight pipes .But who cares , it's a racecar By the way ,,,,,,, racecar spelled backwards is RACECAR
  8. Hi, I'm new here , just about finished with my 7 , did all the work my self , started in late March of this year , so my back ground is European auto classic restoration , did hundreds of classics in my business but never did a car for my self , so I did . Bought the book low-cost , then modified it for my use , but kept the frame to book size I put a 3.4 GM V 6 , in it after I rebuilt it and and a T5 ,5 speed trans and a 3.08 S10 rear end . It's carbureted , no fuel injection . I did all my own work on rebuilding all the components , made my own seats , made the instrument cowling useing GPS speedometer Plus taco and the other 4 gauges , I used brookland wind screen instead of the full frame windscreen . It has a 18 gal gas tank I made . What I didn't like was the front steering and suspension , I used a new Mustang 2 front system , and steering much stronger and more rigid .
