y-block aluminum manifold clamps
I was just looking at Mummerts web site trying to find a price on his aluminum intake clamps, but could not find them on his price sheet. Before I call just to get a price, I was wondering if anyone here knows what the price for them is, and has anyone used them.- Thanks ----Jim

Re: y-block aluminum manifold clamps
Did you ever get an answer Jim? There is a similar thread on THE OTHER FORUM ...

Re: y-block aluminum manifold clamps
Kultulz, yes and no. I started the thread on the y block forever forum. never found a price for the Mummert ones, found some Blue Thunder ones on ebay for $46.00. I bought them, and will see if I like them for my current avatar. I am changing the Offy 3x2 intake for an Edelbrock 3x2 #573, as it performes much better. I am also changing the carbs , making the center carb an ECG 6 with the larger throttle blades. if I do not like the clamps on the Edelbrock intake, I can use them on something else.

Re: y-block aluminum manifold clamps
Then you saw the illustration of the MUMMERT retainers I posted. It listed different ones for the OFFY and EDEL
Let us know if you go that way.

Re: y-block aluminum manifold clamps
Kultulz, The current offy intake on my avatar is using stock steel clamps. I wanted to get away from them on the Edelbrock manifold, to keep from ending up with gouge marks on the aluminum manifold. the used Edelbrock had quite a few gouges in it when I bought it. my brother the machinist dressed it up so it does not look bad. hoping to avoid gouges by using solid aluminum clamps. we will see if the off-set on the blue thunder clamps will be a problem. one thing Ted Eaton mentioned on the other site , is that there are different size stock clamps depending on year and application. this is something I did not know. not many y-blocks, or flatheads, have survived the scrap drives of the '90's up here. ( or any thing else that was more than 10 years old at the time, and most of the old cars went to the crusher. very sad ).
