is anybody reproducing the little arm for the rear carb on dual quads? it's the piece that the throttle rod between front and rear carb connects to
-
Bob , look on the dual quad form heading on this site there are two repro linkages ! Not sure what piece you mean? :icon_scratch:

Bob, I have successfully made one before, but you will need another Buick AFB carb to get the ball stud off the arm. You will also need an original for a pattern. You can then cut out the sheetmetal piece from some of the metal on the donor arm, make the rivet on a lathe, then install the ball stud. You have to grind the brad off the back of the ball stud to remove from the donor, then you can put a quick ball of weld on the back to hold it once it is in the new arm.

This is what I'm after.

I looked and the only one I saw was the linkage rod with the turn buckles and I have already bought that one.

hey Marxjunk
would you be willing to trace the outline of that and email it to me or even snail mail it to me. then I can make one very easily.

When do you need it?
I'll be pulling my 2x4 and will be able to remove the bellcrank and make several.
I will also make a detailed drawing with all measurements, hole sizes, and post for anyone that wants to make their own.
(started to pull the bellcrank to make a drawing and cut you one, but the back of the allen bolt holding it on is cross cut and splayed on the back and I cannot get to it to grind off the back side of the bolt to remove with the carbs mounted.)

I'm not in any hurry and can wait.. thank you

OK.
I should be able to get to it sometime this week/weekend.
My cousin has a laser cutter so I may have him make a run of them.
But I can fashion a few. I have some steel that is about 14 ga.
I'll followup on information as I go. :)

Thank you sir, i'm in no hurry, just trying to plan far in advance. if I could find an original rear dual 4 carb from 65-66 i'd just buy that
