I found the adapters, Edelbrock 2964. Something to consider.

I have a spare pair of adapters if you need them.

I zoomed in on the picture of Grumpys intake that Paul posted and noticed a couple of things. Even though they are mounted sideways, the carbs do not have center hung fuel bowls. However, they are mounted so that the primary bowls are facing the driver side of the engine. I wonder if that solved the fuel delivery problem with the 1850 carb mounted sideways? The linkage would either have to push up to open the carbs or pull from the passenger side.

Whitetop's answer is right on the money. Here is a photo of my B/MP Camaro taken in Jan. 1971. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps03260097.jpg Sorry can't seem to make image larger

Tracy, the big problem of running sideways carbs is you have to have an extra wide hole in the hood=weird looking if you are not running a hood scoop..

Re: What is a correct tunnel ram linkage?
 

In my opinion, sideways carbs back then just were not done (that I saw anyway) on street cars. Most kids were on a budget and they just bolted everything together as it came, without a lot of science and expensive linkage. To me, sideways carbs were the "thing" the racers did, and they spent a LOT of money on a LOT of things to be competitive.

That's just the way I remember it (and did it myself)

I hear what you guys are saying, but this is my counter point. The car is a Vega with an L-88. How mant of those did we all see in the street? You can choose to be John Milner or Toad. Which linkage would Milner run?

This is how Bill said to run the Vega Pappas did last year.

Here is the vintage setup I have. Put together in the mid 1970's for a race car. Has sat ever since I picked it up.
