tunnel ram and 2 4's?

Back when it came time for me to choose my steel fuel line and linkage kit for my carbs, from what I was reading and what others were recomending at that time, I chose to run my carbs sideways. Isn't it an advantage to line up the primaries and secondaries with the length of the engine to make a best atempt to give more of an equal dispersment of fuel to all of the cylinders?

 

You guys are always putting new ideas in my head!!!!!! A tunnel sitickin' of the hood looks awesome!

 

Probably , but my intake wont allow me to run mine sideways.

My plugs have always looked like the mixture was pretty even though.

 

When I bought mine they where around $180.00 ( I will find the reciept. )now they are $259.95 ...

What would be the issue with your manifold that would prevent you from running them sideways?

 

hey m.a.v. AWESOME PIC
heres the set up I was looking at I wonder if the two 600's would be too much they have the 450 option as well

where can I get metal fuel lines I dont want the rubber ones with chrome crap over the top. I want regular metal fuel lines either steel or aluminum just so long as its not rubber

 

hey bob hatcher whats that plate for behind your ater pump?

 

he has no shock towers or motor mounts so he has to use a motor plate.

 

IF you turn them sideways, the bolt holes dont line up.

 

If the Holley mounting patten isn't square, I must have 2 sets of holes in my manifold because I can mount my carbs either straight or sideways - I don't remember if I do or not

 

it is not. Too lazy and tired to go out and measure stuff but the difference between front/rear and side/side is about a 1/4 inch or so IIRC.

You'd have multiple holes already drilled if you can simply turn the carbs like that without an adapter.

 

maybe one tunnel ram is different than the other? maybe different models? do they even make more than one model? maybe one is older than the other? maybe theyre exactly the same year and model but designed slightly different if you will

its most likely the carb model thats making it change. I doubt they change the TR maybe your guys' carbs are different?
since carbs are so varied from application to application and from year to year its very possible that two carbs can be the same model but from a different year and make of car and the parts guys computer gives him two different ones (Ive seen that with edelbrock chevy truck carbs)

 

I really will have to pull a carb off and look at my mounting holes on my TR - all of this talk has me curious
