Friends, lovers, Chevy cretins....Let's unf*ck a Six Pack
Just pretend for a moment that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on with this Six-Pack.
The throttle linkage has been modified, there's a linky thing on the center carb and I have no idea what it goes to. I'm missing some carb bolts. If you can help me find some matching carb bolts, a financial transaction will likely take place. I do have the carb studs.
What do I need to make this thing 'right'? If I can re-use any of the factory kick-down or throttle linkage stuff from the '72 B-body 440 4-bbl it is replacing, great. Otherwise, it'll be a complete set as found on eBay or the FABO recommended vendor of choice. Can the throttle arms on the throttle shafts be used with one of the commonly available linkage kits, or has some dill-hole drilled these out for the hardware store screws and ruined them?
Goal: What would a '75 6-pack A-body car look like if the EPA had minded their business? So, to me, a 'later' 6-Barrel setup would be more correcter but I do NOT know anything about 6-packs, or correctness on legit street muscle, but I want it to look and act like the factory would have done
it. The car will get a roller cam, but it will be a grind very close to the original 6-pack grind.
The car is an automatic, and the donor motor is a '72 B-body Hi-Perf 440.
If you have an air cleaner you're willing to let go of cheap, I'm all ears. Since this is going in a '75, there's no real 'correct' here. Assume Mopar Parts Bin school of design.
Please teach me what all this and what it does, or direct me to a book that covers it. I've rebuilt a billion motorcycle carbs, I know how carbs work, but I don't play with Holleys much (always had Carters) and Six-packs are...scary. Any common factory-appearing mods are options too (Is four-corner idle a thing on these?).
Thanks in advance!!!!
