Doug ~
Thanks for the compliments, as with everyone on the list it is an
on-going project.
The Holley-Weber carbs are from Tom Langdon at Stovebolt. I think that
they are about $65. ea. He also sells the adapters to go from 1 bbl to
2 bbl carbs. I had to do some good old backyard engineering to get a
throttle linkage that would work using the existing the 1949 gas pedal
and '55 235 pivot and rod linkage. It has to go up the side of the
block inside the Fenton headers and the Offy manifold. Tom sells a kit
now with instructions on how to put together a linkage for the dual
carbs. If you go to http://www.stoveboltengineco.com it has a price
list and details of everything you need. Actually you can call Tom
Langdon to get the specifics or I can help you if you decide to go this
way.

Looks even better than the first time I saw pictures of it. I have a Fenton
dual carb intake that looks similar to your Offey. Tell me, did you put the
two Holley-Weber Progressive two barrel carbs in place of the usual single
barrel Rochester's as a direct bolt on (or easy mod, at least)? How much
more reliable, power, mileage, ease of keeping in tune? How much do they
cost (approx.) & what are the details on the carbs (model, part number, cfm,
etc.)
