How do you fab an Offy Tri-Carb Linkage

Well-known member
I have an old Offy adapter on an 82 head which sits on a 66 200 block.
I got the adapter from someone with carbs and no linkage.
Cliffords doesn't sell just the linkage kits and Offy is having supplier problems and cannot make any more kits for a while.
There has to be some hardware out there to fab one of these.
Anyone have any ideas?

B.T.W. Got an MSD 6AL from Wife and Kids for Fathers Day. :) :) :)
 
Is what you are looking for a picture of the offy linkage,

or are you looking for where to buy the parts and pieces?

Are you certain that you have the correct adapter for the 82 head. The adapter were for #1 '60 to mid '69 and #2 for mid '69 to '83. They are not interchangeable.

I have directions for each and a diagram of the linkage.

This is the 69 to 82 manifold.

I don't THINK it will fit on a hex shaped log either, but I've never actually tried it.

Good Luck
 
Hi Dennis,

I bought your book and enjoy it. I try to follow it whenever possible.
I do have that Offy adapter, and yes, it does fit the 82 head. I guess I have one hell of a machinist. He actually borrowed the handbook and found it really informative.
I am using 3 Holley 1908's. The outer carbs have the special setup with the return springs mounted where the choke should be.
I have three of the V-shaped parts that mount on the posts aside of each carb. I even have the linkage stock... I just need a source for the fittings. I noticed that www.webercarbs.com may have some of the parts, but not all. I imagine that I could fabricate some of them...
