I was just wondering how they could use a separate plane just for the secondaries, since one plane of a dual plane feeds 4 cylinders and the other feeds the other 4 cylinders, whether it's fed from just the primary bore or from both primary and secondary on that side. By the way, I definitely agree on the spreadbore concept. It seems it would be ideal for a heavyweight small (302) engine full size Bronco like mine. I just trashed my new Holley 600 cfm squarebore in favor of a Holley 2 barrel with a centerhung float that I picked up at a flea market! It's looking like my mileage has gone from around 8 to 17 mpg!

The Rochester has the largest difference between primary and secondary I've seen so it's my first choice. The Offy dual/dual plane manifold uses a separate plane for the secondaries which is "made" for the spread bore design IMHO so I'm keenly interested in it.

By the way, I definitely agree on the The picture only shows a cross section and I'm assuming it's a dual plane since it's made for low end torque. I have the same questions in my mind as to how they managed to do it and plan to give them a call one day when I'm ready to play. My big deal with the Rochester is it's well known for it's fine metering and high degree of configurability but it's drawback is some fragility in the metering rods If I recall correctly which I'm happy to put up with for the better economy without losing any performance and perhaps even gaining since I can then use a larger "total" CFM rating carb. I haven't messed with the carters so don't know but am fairly certain they have less difference between the two bore sizes than the Rochester. I want the biggest secondaries and smallest primaries I can get :-) Holley has the least difference so is on the bottom of my list. I rate them maybe in this order: Rochester,....Edlebrock, Carter,...............................Holley If all I wanted was performance I'd go with the Holley Dominator by Barry Grant.

All this seems like a little too much work for a center support bearing on the drive shaft. ;) Just make sure you keep drive shaft in alignment and don't miss match the splines.

The truck was a (well still is really) an F-100 4x4. I have replaced so much of the running gear with 3/4 ton stuff I just call it an F-250. Anyway the shackles and mounts are cast iron. A good spring shop should be able to set you up with the correct bushing or if not could make you up a set with rubber or poly bushings for ease of future replacement. The big problem I see with the bronze bushings is the wear. If you don't keep them well greased they will go south really fast. The ones on the rear of my truck have enough play in them to cause a rear steer situation. Speaking of wheels, there is a 61-64 ( I haven't looked that close at it since not much is left) 1 ton just down the street. It still has the six lug wheels and tires on it. Only things left are the cab, frame, rear end and front end. Doors, fenders, interior, bed are all gone.

Pat: From the PAW catalog here is a brief description: "the Dual Port manifold is actually two separate manifolds in one. The entire manifold is divided from the base of the carburetor to the head flange. In operation , the primary mixture is fed into the bottom runners and engine operates on this smaller port until the driver or engine demand cuts in the secondaries--the top port. The primary system further restricts the air and increases it to the 'speed of sound.' This adds additional horsepower at low rpm. Since the secondary is isolated from the heat of the engine the secondary mixture is cooler adding an additional boost in power.

That saves a lot of trouble since the only hookups to the original power system will be the balast resistor or low voltage ignition wire and start relay pin on the ignition switch or tap off the start relay itself.
