Baz 2440 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hi NZ old school crew .I am wondering if any of you have seen or used a single 45mm side draft dellortto or weber set up on a relatively stock slant 6 Valiant before , any advice gratefully received thanks Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Lynx make/made a manifold for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz 2440 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) yeah that's what I have ,but have read somewhere that these carbs are designed to run 1 throttle body per cylinder. Looking at that you would think that the centre 2 cylinders are going to starve the others for fuel though they obviously don`t all open at once. . Lynx got sold to Webber performance in Victoria and I see they don't advertise these manifolds any more .

Bearded Baldy Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 In standard trim just put a 350 holley on it with either a manifold or just an adaptor plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it would matter if its sized and jetted correctly, the carb doesnt care how many cylinders it is feeding, it just puts 'x' amount of fuel into the air that passes through it and the manifold delivers that mix to the cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Read somewhere that Lynx used different IDs in the runners to balance flow, also read on an Aussie forum that it didn't work and a stock carb gave better results lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz 2440 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks for the feed back crew. I only bought it for a novelty set up and I have a 34mm weber off a ford XF falcon that may get a run 1 day. regards Baz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
