carb centers on intake
 

What is the minimum carb centers needed to use Holley 94 carbs on dual and triple intakes. I know some offenhausers are 4-3/4 " and are to close. Thanks Bill

I think it depends also if it's a two, three, or four carb intake ,
Speedway lists a two carb with only 4-3/4" centers fitting two 94's.
But my Edelbrock triple has 5-1/8" spacing, but they are not tight together, so if you were building a custom intake you could probably get away with 4-15/16" to 5" spacing

If you have two 94's, lay them on a flat surface, draw pencil lines around them...
Remove carbs and measure... Or, that's what I would do.

Let me know if you don't have the carbs- I could do this...

I checked my Edelbrock dual. 4-3/4" with just a sliver if space between the 94 carbs.

I have an Offenhauser 3-2 intake for 8ba's that will not mount 94's unless you "alter" the front screw boss for the carb top.

I found out the hard way that you can't get 4 94's on a Wiiend 4 carb manifold for an early hemi. Not that that's any help, but it shows that a lot of manifolds were designed with only 97's in mind.

I have a new set of 8BA offy heads and was hoping to use an offy triple intake I have with some rebuilt Holley 94 carbs I also have. As things are the carbs can not be bolted on. (nice time to find out) It looks like I will need to use the 1076 super dual if I am to be able to use the offy intake to match brand with the heads.

My Offy reg dual has a gnat's dick between the 94s.

Spacers of some sort could be made to stagger the carb heights just enough so they clear one another.

OFFI:confused: dose not have a ruler at there house? and yes I have seen a spacer used ....BUT. big.... BUT ... if your going to run all three in syk, the throttle linkage can be a B-ich.... if your running progressive linkage, a bit of a do but can be made to work ?? There are vinders here on he barn, that make and sell the spacer, ( and a big hammer )...too.
You might try to elongate the holes in the carb base, and cant the front card to the right and the center carb to the left....just bit. to clear the center cover screw, on the center carb. it will never show, and the air-fuel mix entering the intake, can't tell ... and the linkage, will give enough to make work....:mad: hay dam I'am giving away my :rolleyes:speed secrets ...the thing's we did back in the day .....OLD.....BILL:cool:
