Josh ran across one also with a Jacuzzi but not set-back either and Ray (IIRrebel) has one with a Jacuzzi

Actually, Mine has a Berk JC-A Omar.

If I ever finish up this tunnel ram on the Sleekcraft, I'll get to work on the thing too. Setback sounds cool Tom, can't wait to see pics of it being done! You can experiment with mine if you want 

Since mine is apart and stringer integrity in qiestion anyway, what do I have to lose? Not much in it thus far!

(As the idea wheel grinds away in my lil brain.......)

Nope, mine are in series, kinda like way most a/c units have a breaker in the panel and one at the cutoff box (Least mine does). When I tested mine, the second one tripped but not the first, makes sense. My thinking is if the first one fails, or 'welds' itself closed, the second should trip. I dunno, might be off base on this tho. Makes sense in my whacked mind as long as the breakers are the same size.

Repo guys get into their jobs a little too much, if you ask me. Kinda like bounty hunters. And I don't beleive for a second they don't steal parts.

My only experience with them deals with my late wifes death. She had a Kia, that I drove, while she drove my Pontiac. Felt better letting her drive the GOOD car. Anyway, after she died, I kept telling the bank, come and get it, I don't want it. They kept trying to get me to pay for it. It was worth more than we owed, but I did NOT need 4 cars. There was no inheritance to speak of, so, come get it. You'll make a buck on it, we'll call it good. I got enough going on right now, I do not need to be listing a car for sale and deal with that too.

After 3 months, they have an attorney's office call me about her estate and crap. I told them the same thing, Come and get the car, been telling the bank this for months, have the repo guy call me before he comes and I'll meet him in the driveway with the keys, hell I'll even drive it to their lot if he brings me home. The repo guy calls me as I'm halfway to work, a week later. I think he was waiting at the end of the street for me to leave. I said I'll be right there. I turn around, back there in 15 minutes, he's gone, cars still there.

Same thing happened 2 more times. Then, my neighbor calls me at 3 am on a Wednesday nite (My car was parked in my neighbors driveway across the cul de sac as we had been moving my boats around with his truck) telling me there's someone stealing my car. I go outside, 10mm in hand, to see this idiot trying to pull the Kia from my driveway with a chain.  Had it halfway to the street. I stop him, call the cops, and after all was said and done, hand him the keys and the cops give him a serious ass chewing and a ticket for disturbing the peace and reckless operation once they heard my story.

Why break the car? I mean for Christs sake, I was being nice. Fugger deserved it, and lucky he didn't get shot!

As long as you do most of your testing south of Parker we'll be fine 

Tee hee, you're safe for now.........

Hey Ray, thought of another name " Udder Estimated". Thats what i'm talking about.

I don't know, I may have "over" estimated my abilities thus far

Ray

The throttle plates on the carbs and the linkages going to the booster pump. Here's a pic of one of them sitting sideways. 'Tis why i ruled that out initially.



Not a real problem, just ordered 2" spacers and a sideways throttle linkage (That will probably need spaced up as well), Just wanted to avoid this if could be. My brother's working on another solution, I think we can do it, but gonna make a lot of aluminum chips doing it on his CNC. We can try that out later. I'd much rather have them inline if at all possible. The standard fuel lines will work in line, and I beleive I'm going to have a problem with one whole bank being rich and the other being lean with the sideways setup using non-dominator carbs. Time will tell. I'd rather have the lean condition in the middle 4 cylinders of the engine, given the Ford's firing order, I think this will produce less harmonics. Bear in mind this isn't the 8-71 you have. Wouldn't matter in a blown application.

As you can see, the throttle brackets on the shafts will not clear the intake, and it's sitting on the booster pump linkage. This was fine with my push throttle assembly on the RPM intake. May still need to go to a pull deal after I see the linkages. We'll see.

Nothing simple on these things.

Ray

ROFLMAO, Too Funny. Nope, MINE can be put back the way she was in an hour or less.  But lord, what compications we weave...........

Ray

My Italian heritage precedes me I see. But no hit was issued, relax, 

Tee hee cool, I'm on a team??? I think I'm on 2sav's team! Kinda, well, maybe, well, I'm scared now..........

At least I didn't tear the floors out! I only tore out the intake manifold!

But I'll take what I can get. Even Beerjet's team, just gotta warm up to it a little at first.

I want the Stickers too though.   But I'm glad Brad got the shirts, et al, going. When OC2Vegas rolled into the marina a couple saturdays ago and asked the cab driver who drove them from the dock to the motel "Have you seen any jet boats around", and the guy replied "Ohhhh yeah". We needed those at Temple Bar.

Ray

I figured out you were Terry, took  some Captain to reread those and go.....Ohhhhhhhh.............

(The Left handed thing was funny though, I gotta admit)

Yeah, I agree, smaller single feeds would be easier, but I'm not gonna let this little thing beat me. I think it can be done and work properly. If not, well, I been wrong before and will again. Sideways will not work without 2" carb spacers, and at that, none of the bolt holes line up, so not just a spacer, but an adapter of some sort, if they even make it. The manifold is new, but don't know year of manufacture.

Besides, looks kinda cool with the choke horns facing each other.

Anyone got an 850 or 950 laying around in good shape? I'm thinking I want to run one on it for now while I work out this WY-AND HOW deal.

Ray

......could just be a left hand carburetor. Did you get it overseas?

  Are you serious? lol No, they were used on a tunnel of some sort, for 2 days, then swapped out for 660's on a BBC. Came from Wash state (Could be Canadien though I suppose?)

I don't think you can go to the single feed bowls (would give clearance needed) with those bodies.  

The only thing I have seen that works is mounting sideways 

You could try to fabricate a dual cable system (one from the front and one from the rear) 

Good luck 

Outstanding, texting my machinist brother as we speak. Maybe some heim joints and a bearinged shaft running between or behind them. The fuel lines are not a problem, really, the linkage is gonna look kinda frankensteinish I have a feeling. Damn me for sticking to my guns on this!

E-mailed Holley too, JIC there's something I missed.

Ray

Thanks Terry! I don't think there's one on there already, as the choke horns are facing each other., they're identical in line. Dunno either way, is there a way to tell?

But reverse is what I need to do on one. Damnit When I Think I'm done, something else I gotta wait on and spend money on.

Sounds great tho if it lets me use a standard linkage and the fuel lines I already have.

Ray

Divine Bovine

is a company that make some damn fine beef jerky locally.   It just might be a winner... whadda ya think?

Maybe I can get a sponsorship of some sort!

Ray

The tunnel's got me buggered, I'm opening the Captain. Hoped to have it on and running today and hit the water tomorrow (My days off)

You guys are killing me here.

Not enough room on the boat for these, unless I use the deck.............................
