Carb adapters... alternatives to stovebolt and clifford?

[Eric Rose]

What is everyone using? I'm debating doing a progressive Weber on an adapter but I am worred about the placement of the fuel bowl, and hood clearance.

Do those of you with angled carbs and sideways mounted carbs have problems with fuel starvation on hard launches?

Make your own. It's pretty strait forward.

I have the Redline unit, which I bought from another member, but I think is the one Stovebolt sells. My 5200 sits @ a 45*, but I haven't done any "hard launches," since I don't want to "lunch" my rear axle.

If I were doing over, I'd be sorely tmepted to get the Carter Weber, because of throttle shaft rotation. It's $85 new,with electric choke.

Anybody have more pics of the Carter Weber? How is your hood clearance with the Redline/Stovebolt adapter?

Yeah, that post pretty much answered my questions lol. Going to stop by Summit this weekend, get the TD adapter (which I think is the same as the Stovebolt adapter) and drill it to mount the carb straight.

For less than $20 so its worth a shot. :laugh:

I think a friend of mine has a Weber carb he can donate too. The downside is I don't know what it is though, might be a 32/32, a 32/34, or a 32/36, I will just have to wait and see..

Mine came off a 2.0 pinto and is stamped 26/27 works great. Well worth the effort to mount and rejet.
