    So all you need is a two into one adapter from stovebolt. I have not seen a Twin-H in a long time so I would have to look at one to get at least some kind of an idea what I need to do linkage wise. What I would really like to do, is run the twin 2's under the factory Twin H air cleaners so the car maintains its original look but has the extra punch of the bigger carbs

    Actually, if you got creative with some new fabricated rods (I wouldn't mess up the originals) you could operate them with a Twin-H linkage. The way I had them mounted on the manifold they pulled to the driver's side of the engine. I had it in mind to use a single pull Pacemaker linkage, hence the banger-work. Twin-H linkages are harder to find than the manifolds, so I was messing around with alternatives.



    But, yes - the adapters came from Langdon and bolted right to the Twin-H. Same adapters we used on the Offenhauser triple manifolds for the Chevy 292. I had the exact same idea regarding the Twin-H breathers, but it would be hard to pull off with the 5200's and keep the original intent of better breathing.



    What I liked about those carbs, they are progressive 2 barrels. While cruising, you are running two venturis slightly larger than a single WGD. Step on it, and you have another 2 venturis at your disposal - again, slightly larger than the previous two.

    I am in the process of putting a 350 Chevy transmission on my Kaiser. I have a problem in that the transmission requires a vacuum line to be run to the modulator and the only vacuum line I can find is the one that goes from the carburetor to the distributor. Can I split the vacuum line so it goes to both the distributor and the transmission and get the needed vacuum to properly operate both?
