Jim,

        I bought such an Edelbrock manifold back in about 1962 and used it
for several years on my '61 Olds F-85.  I still have it--You might have
seen it listed on my for sale list recently.  I just used 2 completely
stock F-85 carbs on it and made my own linkage.  One could presumably use
any other Rochester 2BC from a Chevy, or whatever.  I don't know what other
carbs might also fit that Rochester 4-bolt mounting.  The manifold is set
up to work perfectly with the stock F-85/Buick throttle rod which comes
from the accelerator pedal.  I have never seen the Offenhouser mani but it
must be very similar.  I think it is of interest as a piece of "period"
speed equipment.  They probably have not been produced in many years.

Cheers,

Dave Kernberger
