Now that Proline Fuel is closed, where can I find a Offenhauser dual 1 barrel intake? |

Any auto supply store, which sell offie products can order it for you. Summit Racing is one place. |

Howell Automotive stocks them. They are currently backordered and the Howell guy is a little confused, saying that the linkage kit has been discontinued and will no longer be included once he gets replenishment stock. This is not correct; I spoke to Offenhauser (to the actual, real Mr. Offenhauser; apparently it's still a family-owned small business) and he says there'll be more manifolds in the pipeline soon and the linkage kit still comes with them. |

Thanks for all the leads. I guess I am getting too "web dependent" --- couldn't find any vendors with search engines or on line catalogs. I have a well warmed over 225 (10:1 compression, decent street cam, ported head). Will be going in a 65 Valiant wagon, backed by an OD 833. I think the dual one barrel manifolds just look neat. Anyone have any comment on the utility and performance of this design? I was just thinking of using two BBS carbs. |

I have that set up in my car. See below. I got more low end, right off. Not yet sure about the mid and upper end range, though. I put it on a tired motor (which is now getting rebuilt). I'll know the whole story when the motor's done... I put the manifold in myself, it wasn't super hard, considering that I also installed headers at that time. I think it's a nice looking alternative to the normal 4 barrel set up...

63Dart, as I've said before, that's a terrific-looking setup in your car. And, one nice thing about using BBSs is that you can synchronize the chokes on both carbs by making a new extra-long choke shaft out of a 225 pushrod. Then just make a new choke pushrod out of ⅛" brass rod stock, maybe dial in a tetch more spring tension on the choke stove and off you go. This trick is harder to do on the Holleys. Great link to the Offy store! Had no idea they still made some of the stuff I found there. |
