You have to watch what your buying. I think some of th eplaces that sell these intakes dont give the kits or adaptors needed, which may be the case for the link I just gave.

Offyparts.com comes with everything needed. I believe the link I just gave is the howell that was meantioned before (not for sure on that though). Anyway, be sure what they are selling you ( no matter where you buy) and if they have it in stock to sell and what the intake really comes with & needs.

I found them but was unsure if anyone here had any first hand experiance with them. In their pic(of the dual single intake)it shows the linkage in the package. Maybe I'll call them and ask them what all the linkage kit comes with and whats the shippin date(summits is 8/20). Thanks guys!

I ordered an Offy intake from Howell on May 5. They took my money immediately, but have yet to ship anything. All I get are excuses about how it is supposed to arrive at their shop from Offy any day now. It doesn't say anywhere on their site that they don't stock it. As far as I can tell now, it's a scam. The price just seemed to good to be true.
If I ever receive it from them I'll let you all know.

If they did not ship within 30 days, or give you the option of cancelling the order, they are in violation of law. You can demand a refund. If you payed by credit card, and they give you any static, about a refund, call your credit card company and put the transaction in dispute.

I finally got my Offy intake from Howell Automotive, 3 months to the day after ordering it.

So, Howell still seems to be the best price, but you'd better not be in a hurry to get it.

Seems Offenhauser only makes these manifolds on a special order basis. I called them and PAW when I first started my sl6 build over a year ago. Offy calls them one of their Nostalgia series and wanted 100% payment in advance no refunds. I ended up with clifford intake as I could order it from local parts house and no money involved until received. Clifford is also built on a "when we get enough orders we'll build em" system I guess so no matter which one it can take some time. Also PAW catalog lists the cable auto-trans linkage as a seperate offy #. Even though we think us sl6'ers are legion, in truth I would guess nobody sells like a ton of slant go fast parts every year. I figure if it took 25-30 plus years to get this slant to my hands I can wait a few weeks/months for a special piece. Oh, offy builds the slant finned valve cover the same way,bout 150$ Have fun,be patient 8)

We found ours on Ebay, but that don't mean there is always one there for grabs.

I ordered the dual single manifold/linkage direct from Offyparts and it took 3-4 months to get the manifold. I emailed them a couple of times but no response so I figured they were out of business or something. I was kind of concerned since I paid with a credit card and it never showed up on my statement. Then one day I got an email from Offyparts stating that my order had been shipped and my credit card was being charged. Parts arrived a few days later.
