does anyone run these still?
i mean i know back in the day alot guys used these blow by setups
but with all the FI setups now days, how many people still run these setups?

 

I run a 12a turbo using a modified stock carb and a custom hat, works great

 

I got a carb hat but want to run it with my carb and and a cone K&N filter and grab some fresh air from the front of the car(no turbo). Wonder if I will get enough air flow???

Thread jacker!

 

I just pulled my headlight assymblies today and was thinkin the same thing...

 

Yea, I'm running a turbo setup using a weber 45 dcoe and a carb hat. Still working out the bugs, but Its a good setup

 

I run Robert's on mine, works/looks great

 

Ok, here's my question, can you run a non-turbo 12a with a nikki on a carb hat? I have one that I want to put on and run a intake tube to a fresh air spot with a cone filter. Will I have issues with air flow to the carb or will that be enough with out forced induction?
Plus it will look alot better then the blue filter assembly that I got on it now and take up less room in the engine bay.

 

are you serious?!

next best thing to cheese!!!!!

 

i made my own carb hat and im also most done welding it up at work but once finished its just going to duct a huge k &n out front behind the light. ill post pics but i will look good and fuction great (CROSS YOU FINGERS)

 

This is exactly what I've been looking to do, but don't know how to make or where to buy a carb hat or plenum. I have clearance issues with the Camden blower and the Holley 650 double pumper, and figure a cold air intake would solve that problem, plus give me a cooler intake charge. I e-mailed K&N looking for recommendations, got a response asking for more info, sent it to them, and haven't heard from them again. Anyone have pictures of the carb hat/plenum?

Thanks,
Rich

 

64mgb: Were you looking for something like this??

That's exactly what I'm looking for, but I saw that on their site last week and it says:
"Note: The custom plenum is recommended for small displacement engines (less than 200 C.I.) or low revving V6-V8 engines. If the engine requires more than 45 sq. in. of filter area then the plenum should not be used because the carburetor would have to be re-jetted and a loss of high R.P.M. power will be the result."

Our engines are small, but with the blower I think it moves a lot of air. I asked K&N about it in my e-mail, and they have not responded.

Thanks,
Rich

 

I want this one for the Holley, but it won't fit under the hood: http://www.superiorairflow.com/

The last blow-through system was the Cartech unit on a Weber 40IDF which was pretty nice and did the job very well.

 

You know robs7 and myself made an intake kit for my 83 with the stock intake and a modified nikki. I will try to post a pic later if I remember.

 

Oh well, I guess I'll do it now or I will forget later. I have never posted pics of my engine bay so please be kind. BTW, Yes I am still running the AC on this car. And the cruise if you must know. Any way, enjoy.

 

I think that looks great bad 83! But two questions. 1) Where can I get a carb aht/plenum like that, and 2) why not run it out in front of the radiator to get cooler air?

Thanks!

that hat is actually a modified cold air intake for a s 10 i think, cant remember the details but he had to cut out the one side and i welded up the top for him, turned out good considering how shitty my welds were (i had not gone to my welding school yet so it was a little rough before sam worked it all down sorry buddy) but now it fits great and is working good as far as i know.

 

well here is my half done carb hat, its not a turbo setup but i am going to duct it out tommorow. i found some "no hub " connectors at lowes that are black and a lot cheaper then the parts store plus for the size of pipe i used it was hard to find. well i have to cut the pipe sections and get some more rubber connectors to duct it out, i think i will go in front of the radiator but not sure yet hope yall like my idea. well the welds still look bad but i did it at work and i could not weld it with AC like i need to because it can fry electrical equipment and CNCs are expensive so i had to use DC which causes crappy welds. i am going to smooth it all out then glass bead it next week. but just getting it all fitted in hope you like it robert

 

here is one for sale

I did the K&N carb hat (mock up pic attached) with a huge K&N filter. It has a huge 4" inlet which offered promise but fell on it's face at 6000 rpm. I think that was largely due to the choke tower being a huge air flow limiter tot he secondaries considering the carb placement on the camden. I have since purchased a Barry grant s/c chokeless carb and will be scrapping the camden carb spacer in favour of hood clearance and giving it another try. What did work well was a GM HEI offset 14" air cleaner base coupled with a 2 1/2" air filter and standard low profile lid with an offset stud that came with the filter base.

 

The carb hat was ok on my chokeless holley so I am optimistic.
