dual 4 bbl linkage question - "progressive"
I'm just about to install my newly rebuilt 289 hipro with dual Holly vac
secondary 4bbls carbs in my 65 2+2 (its going to be a good summer). I have the factory links but someone suggested I put in a "progressive" linkage which offsets the opening positon of the two carbs (for smoother throttle response???). Can anyone suggest a source of info on these and where to buy if I like what I read? |

The vacume secondaries are "progressive" already.

Yes progressive is for tri power setups. You want the primaries of the two
4s to open at the same time. I hope they're small carbs for the street. -- Mark -- "I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates who once said, "I drank what?". " Val Kilmer in Real Genius.

Thanks to all for the info. I suspected that there was something not quite
right, as I spent a lot of time trying to balance carbs on an MGB which is legendary for this. From memory they are 8160/61 pair, and visually you wouldn't consider these to be small carbs, but I'll look into it. Thanks for the "heads up". I may have to practice my softshoe routine to use this as a daily driver (previous two Mustangs were L6 and 260V8 so was never an issue). Hmmm ,,, maybe didn't have to blueprint the engine. It's going to be an enjoyable summer. "Mark C." > wrote in message ... > Yes progressive is for tri power setups. You want the primaries of the two > 4s to open at the same time.

two 4 barrels on a 289? How big? 600's? Is this a mostly stock 289? Sounds like alot of carb to me... Heck, I thought a 600 cfm was all that came on the hi-po 289's. I know there was a 3x2bbl offered through ford (Holman-Moody makes the intakes again according to FRPP catalog -2004), and I have seen a drag 289's with 2x4bbl tunnel rams, but they spun to ~9000 rpm. Not being overly critical, just very curious about the 2x4 requirement. Bob wrote: > Thanks to all for the info.
