Spent a couple years working on this deal with the original owners grandson. Got a full truckload of parts for the Valiant, this of course is the cherry on top.
Finally got my intake…

That intake is very cool.

Dutra Re-Pop, Clifford bought the rights to sell them:
Back when men were men, sheep were nervous, and Mopar ruled everything!! OK most everything!!

I asked the guy about this weird heat riser on the collector. He father was really into fish carburetors. A whole new rabbit hole to go down. He had cabinet full of every adaptation of fish ever made. I guess they were prone to icing.

My father believed that myth his whole life !
I never understood the mentality where you buy something such as a gas engine, and then spend all of your efforts to prevent from using any (gas). Go figure.
Can anyone define fish carburetor? Marine? Brand name??

From what I understand they were developed for circle track racing. I know the whole family ran it the dirt of Electric City Speedway. There is a good description of how they work on Wikipedia.
