Carb / Inlet manifold restrictors
Carb / Inlet manifold restrictors
Has anyone removed the restrictors from their inlet manifold?
I have just pulled the carbs of mine and cant see any way of removing them.
Cheers
Jon

Mine are out. I didn't do it, but I understand it has to do with needlenosed pliers and some elbow grease.

My Edelbrock/Holley still sitting on basement floor until original equipment is back together and inspected . . . Does anyone have this setup and know which brackets/adapters to buy for the throttle and choke?

I have a 465 and edelbrock performer on my stage 1. It all goes in sweetly. I made a bracket for the throttle cable myself, very easy to do, it bolted on to one of the bolt holes on the top of the manifold. The throttle cable attaches straight on to the carby linkage without any mods. I just ignored the choke, didn't end up needing it anyway. The reason I ignored it is my stage 1 is 24 Volt (ex NZ Army) and the automatic choke on the holley is 12 volt, so I just loosened the thingy on side and wound the choke out so it stays open all the time. I didn't bother going to the 'truck avenger' carby as here in NZ they are over double the price of the 465. I did however buy a 4wd kit for it (haven't bothered installing it yet!)

Would you mind sending a pic of the throttle bracket?

It won't be until the weekend arctic, but I will do it. Its pretty simple, a piece of flat steel with a couple of holes and the original bracket off the old twin carb setup ("s" bend thing with a slot in it) bolted to it.

If you remove the air intke ducts and lift up the throttle body and open the butterfly you should be able to shine a torch down and check if they are fitted. I seem to recall seeing them in a manual as a plate between the carb and the manifold with one serrated edged restricting hole, but mine were the same as jon's photo, think I managed to get mine out by using an allen key hooked through one of the holes and gripped this with mole grips and wellied these. If yours is a 110 I don't think the restrictors will be fitted though.
