ok kids, so the intake is the original updraft intake. I fabbed a "u" pipe from it and mounted a downdraft carb. She runs pretty good for the most part. The problem I am having is that she runs rich after she heats up. From what I figured, the cause of this is that the fuel is atomizing, then...

ok, I just scored 2 Ford 3.8 superchargers (free! and brand new!). I know you know where I am going with this....anyone aware of a straight 8 being supercharged, or dual superchargers?

Been a while...not 100% done, but enough to run and show. Had a blast this season! Took her to a few shows, won...score! Anyways, put the old updraft intake back on, installed a u-pipe with a flange and mounted a 1bbl carb. Runs great! I'm sure I've done a ton since last updating here, but I was...

That is an interesting idea...might have to give it a go. As for the title, I registered her fat ass as a 28 pierce arrow (numbers on the frame)...got plates in about 3 minutes!

Does anyone out there have an updraft carb for sale (cheap)...having some issues with my current carb setup...would like to see how I can get her running with the original updraft setup and go from there....thx guys!

Thanks brother....youre the best!

Some major updates coming your way later...BUT anyone on here familiar with weber carbs? I am running dual 40 IDF's and before I buy anything, I want to make sure I am on the right track...initial setup, idles great..any throttle and it falls on its face. Took them apart, cleaned and made some...

well, long story short...the guy that runs the Pierce Arrow Museum brought Jay to see a car collection 2 garages over (it's a pretty extensive collection) I hung out with them for a while (got a bit bored) and went back to work on my rat. Next thing I know, I hear my neighbor telling Jay that he...

So....yeah, this happened at my garage last weekend!

that was the second fire...not bad for sitting for 40 years and the last 3 of them were outside in the Buffalo NY elements! Good vibes....hopefully I can get her done by the summer.

ok, update on the flanges. I contacted about 8 local shops, with only one reply. However, they want to charge me 150 per hour, with an estimated 2 hours. LMFAO. No thanks. I also found a shop on the web called Hells Gate Hot Rods. about $85 for the set. LAST CALL...if anyone on here wants my...

$6 up to 70 lbs

yes, 4 flanges...on a side note, I need 2 flanges for for weber 40 idf carb bases as well...1/4" plate for these. Shipping won't be an issue, they should all fit in a small priority flat rate box...$6 each way. I contacted a couple places locally with cnc machines, but have yet to hear from...

wondering if anyone on here has the capabilities (or knows someone) who can make me some intake flanges (accurately). I can cut the cast flanges off and send them for sizing...they need to be made out of 1/2" steel....any takers, name your price! [P
