“….Mike, have you seen this?.......”

Thanks Ken, I saw you had posted it on Ryans’ thread. I book marked it so I could see what the final bid is. I’m like Ryan I think it will go high (I’d guess in the $750-1000 range) but I really haven’t followed the prices in a couple of years.

The manifold is basically an aluminum copy of the original Chrysler Dual Quad intake set up for bigger carbs. The carbs are probably buildable, the numbers show up for 500CFM chokeless, but I really don’t know what’s going on with the venturies in the front carb (first picture).

I’m with you on the 354 Hemi Ryan it seems way to cheap and my initial impression was it’s probably a scam. I looked at the guys feedback though and seeing some of the other stuff he has sold and what it went for it might be legit.

Opinions vary about the need for a second choke and even the factory set ups varied on whether they used 1 or 2 depending on the manufacture and engine. On the dual quad engines I’ve had I ended up using progressive linkage (although I tried both synchronize and progressive to see what the engine liked better). Running progressive linkage the rear carb becomes the primary carb as the primaries are closer to the center of the manifold and you really only need a choke on the primary carb. Getting two choke to close and open at about the same time can be a bit of a challenge, it’s doable and a lot easier with electric chokes than using exhaust manifold heat or a choke stove.
