Default What is a correct tunnel ram linkage?

Trying to figure out what inline tunnel ram linkage would be correct for Day 2.
Any thoughts or pictures?

Thanks

If it is for your Vega, I would lean towards sideways. By that time, Grumpy was dominating with sideways linkage. A big block Vega would not be following any mild street trends IMHO.

I'll loom for some pics to post.

Heres a pic of my 70 from 1974, inline carbs and cobbled up linkage with a factory type cable. Inline or sideways is a choice but I think if sideways the carb bowls need to be changed to center hung floats so acceleration doesnt effect float operation.

Very cool car and very cool vintage article.

Do you still have the car?

BTW, just an example of sloppy reporting. Pretty sure you LS-6 didn't have 2.02 intake valves.

I have to mount them inline, but would have liked them sideways. The intake is the Weiand three piece like on the Two Lane Blacktop 55.

That is an iconic intake, and your car is along that same timeline. Seems like the obvious answer is to run the same.

Thanks, Still own it today but it looks a bit different from this 1974 article. The day 2 stuff is long gone as is the vinyl top....
