I purchased an Offenhauser dual carb intake and linkage some years ago and finally got to install it - or at least I am trying to. I have installed two We 2417S carbs and am trying to fit the Offenhauser dual throttle linkage. I have tried every which way to fit the linkage but nothing seems close at all. The instructions are a bit quirky and I'm wondering if I got a Chinese copy! The photos I have found of the Offy linkage package for the 170 & 185 flatheads w/ WE carbs seems to be what I have???
Has anyone been able to install the Offy linkage?
I would like to see a photo of the linkage set up on a running flathead.
I have attached the instruction sheets. The instruction "Attach stock throttle rod to tubing furnished with the Tee at rear carburetor." makes absolutely no sense!
The diagram shows the 'T' linkage as being offset. Mine is not and so tends to his the fuel bowl of the rear carb - when set up one way. When turned over the T arm to connect with the throttle linkage hits the intake manifold.
Too bad Bill C. isn't still in business. I'm sure I would have gotten the correct linkage package from him!
Need help if I'm going to be ready for the driving season out here in Nova Scotia.
