Eddie Meyer or Offenhauser?
 

wanting to put dual carbs on 47 pickup, bored .030 but that's about it. anybody have likes or dislikes on either intake? Offy or eddie meyer? Thanks for your time and comments.

Re: Eddie Meyer or Offenhauser?
 

The big decision to be made is "regular" (carbs biased towards the rear) or a "Super" (carbs positioned over the two sets of intake ports on the engine). I favor the latter (which requires "straight linkage") over the former (that may or may not) use a progressive setup.

Actually if you have a pickup, you would be better off with a small 4BBL, or even better, a small base Rochester 2G on a bored out 4 bolt late model Mercury manifold. It doesn't look as cool, but drives a lot better.

If you do decide to go with 2 2BBLS, make sure you stay away from those restrictive little chrome air cleaners.

Lookin' good is not always important as runnin' good.

I like the Edelbrock Slingshot.

Re: Eddie Meyer or Offenhauser?
 

It all depends on which manifold . . . the brands are more about whose name do you want to advertise.

For a stock style engine, the original Eddie Meyer with the big two-carb riser will work well . . . as will the Edelbrock Slingshot. Given that you can buy an Edelbrock Slingshot for a fair price (as long as they have them to ship), that would probably be my choice. The nice thing about the "high-rise" type manifolds - is that you can still run your generator in the stock position - this makes things a lot easier (as far as installation and configuration).

This is a problem of aesthetics'. The 2GC would be a better option.
