Clifford Intake On Ebay

[Stubby]

Guys, my son's Z is long gone and I am clearing out a few leftovers. I just listed a Clifford Intake and will soon be listing a N33 with a pair of three screw round tops. I know this isn't a place to sell member stuff, but this is the only board I am posting to. Thanks for the good information and if I get another Z, I'll be back.

I might be a player on this one, getting sick of fighting with my carbs, and wouldn't mind the ease of a four barrel. What made you choose a single two barrel?

Familiarity and availability. That is a fairly small two barrel. Carburetors are my fetish, I really enjoy tuning them. Our Z started out with injection. Then it had an enjection manifold modified for a 2V Rochedter adapted to it. It was very reliable and a pleasure to drive. Next it had a pair of SU's and they were fun also. After getting it dialed in, we would just pop the tops and clean and oil from time to time. Then I stumbled upon that Clifford intake, without an adapter. I jumped on, built an adapter for one of the many Holleys I had laying around and proceeded to dial it in. Again, it was a pleasure to drive. The 'Butt" dyno is all I ever used to measure HP. I couldn't really tell the difference in any of the carbs. They all ran very well. When you have an open plenum, you don't need as much carburetor.

The two barrel adapter that I made was a little tall and made even taller by the spacer I had to install for linkage clearence. Hood clearence was nonexistent. If you do get it, and want the adapter, I will shave it down.
