Super-Trick new 2-barrel carb...from dAMBEST

[Ace-Garageguy]

OK, so it's not entirely new, like just now, but I only came across these things today. It's essentially a significantly modified half-a-Holley 4-barrel, but the internal mods provide much better fuel atomization and throttle response...and it looks really really cool.

A step beyond the Barry Grant Demon, and the subject of multiple patents, it deserves attention as to sizing and capabilities.

Finally, a 2-barrel carb that looks the part running multiples (3X2 anybody?) on top of something like a distributor-ignited LSX engine or a late-model Hemi.

Those would look great in a modern Weber style setup too.

Thanks Bill. I agree, it would be nice on a 3x2 setup, or even a straight six using just one.

Sweet looking carb, but where can you get them in scale?

Nowhere yet, to my knowledge...but there are several fine resin casters and pattern makers who frequent this board.

As far as 1/24th or 1/25th scale I would think that with some very careful cutting you could make two of these by splitting a Holly double pumper carb. in half and remove the "air horn" or choke assembly from the primary side. In 1:1 this would be a competition type carb. No choke assembly. Years ago Holly offered a two barrel carb much like this but with the materials of the day. What they offered, at least in the 60's, was the front half of their model 4170 double pumper four barrel carb. This was used in the entry level class of NASCAR usually in the Hobby Stock 6 cylinder class. I'm sure there was many other areas that used it also. As I recall it was in the 300 - 400 CFM flow rate.

Similar in concept, "split" Holley Dominator carbs are still built. The closeout plates are available from Holley and at least one other manufacturer.

That looks just like the carb. they used to offer. The old version had a complete circular top so that an air cleaner could be mounted. Except for that it would look just like your picture. I think  that a similar carb was used on both the 400 & 435 h.p. Corvettes and the Six Pack Dodge 440's in the mid to late 60's.
