I have a triple carb manifold for the strombergs, and was wondering where to buy the linkages from???

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Nicely detailed grey. 8) Depends what sort of manifold it is. The linkages can hang off the side or can be straight through from carb to carb. Can you post a pic of the manifold?

Next thing i will need is rebuild kits for the BXOV -1 carbs and the correct size main jets needed for the triple carb set up....contacted redline and they have the linkage set up...Thanks Parisian62.

Is there any performance difference between the Jack Myers headers and the Aussiespeed ones????

Trying to keep the build oldskool if i can......

8) When I did my triples I was also advised to insert venturi restrictors into each. I've seen them for the grey strommies on epay. I think my triples have 48 size jets. Rebuild kit gaskets etc get from Rares. I got my mechanic to rebush all the butterflys etc I think they are the same as carbs for red motors.

Check this thread for some triple strommie action and inspiration http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... 25&t=14166

Also do a search on the forum for "triple" or "triple stromberg" or "triple stommies" etc

Just has a thought. :!: My manifold is a Speco one similar to yours. I was going to use linkages that hang of the side but I found that they fouled the fire wall and accelerator linkage.

Have a look at page 45 and 49 on this thread http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... f=11&t=576

I'm sure the linkages off the side could be done but just will be a bit more engineering...

Hi, well after a long break...... And after buying to bakeries I finally am moving forward with the ek..

Just dropped the triple manifold and carbs to the mechanic, what main jet size should he put in????

One of the post says a 48????

If someone can let me know that would be great.

Cheers Darryl
