322 Intakes

[Fitysix]

Did Weiand ever make a 3 deuce manifold for the 322? I know Offy still does. Any other manf. out there that do? How about dual four manifolds? Ok Ok.....how about any manifolds for the 322

Weiand and Edwards made them. However, I Believe that they are no longer in production and they command a hefty price.

They are available at time for auction on E-Bay.

Offey still makes them and they are fairly reasonable. They are available with either 3 or 4 fasteners depending on the Carb set-up desires.
3 for Rochester 2G and 4 for Stromburgs. Depending on your preference.

There are some 6 carb set-ups around. E-bay.

You can check with T/A Performance.

Over-Fueling can be an issue.

I think the most bang for your buck would be the 3 duece with the 2G rochesters

Offey also make a dual quad intake for the 322.

Still the best set-up is a 3X2 progressive.

Hey BeBop!

How You Doin' ?

You got it right the 3X2 Set-up is the "Best"

"Hands-Down"

Best for Fuel Economy AND Performance.

With the right CFI Carbs you get the ultimate Fuel Performance without over-fueling

LQQK real nice. Old School at it's best.

Top of the line "Rain or Shine"

It don't get any better than that

Got your back there, "Buick Brother"

Highest Regards,

Saw the thread and decided to kick in my two cents worth - I just found, through a wonderful memebr on here a triple deuce Stromberg drilled manifold for my 1955 264 Nailhead - now I am just waiting on the Strombergs from England!!!!

There is a company there

http://www.stromberg-97.com/

that is remaking the carbs supposedly without the issues they had earlier ( I didn't know abotu any problems). I am on the waiting list for the carbs when they become available, through the local dealer in NH

Hey Guys,

The original GM Tri-Carb Set-Ups in the 50's and 60's (Olds J-2, 1958 Chevy 348, GTO and 442) all used Rochester 2G carbs.

Vintage Speed has them also.

Perhaps they could give you a better idea or offer advice concerning your particular application.

With the Tri Carb Set-Up the enginge starts and runs off of the middle carb.that has a choke.

I don't know how that effect the push pedal to start on our nailheads.

Personally, I think that is singular among nailheads and Buicks in general and I would want to retain that unique feature.

Just something to keep in mind
