Claudes buggies intakes ?????

I suppose it would depend on what vehicle up are installing the carbs in as for fit. Plenty of room in a bus. As for linkage, have you ever used a Scat setup? One arm un-used? How? There are two rods, one to each carb and the pull arm, how can one be un-used?

I would try fabbing up a cable pull if nothing works off the shelf, I have always wanted to do a cable but can't justify the time involved in makign it work, and not having a lath makes making pullys hard.

As I said before:

....... If you have one, lay it out and try it.

Only about 30 or so!

Well, I use Scat 30050 linkage for all duals and have installed the Cluades dual 24/24 progressive set up in a T4 bus, I am at a loss as to how you think it won't work.

There was/is a Type 4 specific bell crank linkage that was used for the 24/24 setup (I have a set). I will try to get a pic tonight.

Oh yea there was, it came with the set up's I had, I choose not to use it, the Scat was better hands down.

So how did you guys like them once set up???

I had a single one that i got to run pretty good on an 1835 T1 back in the day.

It had realy good mileage if you had a light foot,
and you could feel the 'power' come on if you opened it up...

Big Webers or Dells are thirsty creatures for just slow stoplight-to-stoplight duty in heavy traffic.

All we ever do around here is idle at lights about 75% of the time,
and never get above 3rd gear.

The dual progressives seem like a great setup for this kind of (lame) driving...

I never had a set myself, but my first experience with them was a good friend/fellow VW gearhead in HS with a set, 2.0 T4 in a Baja, stock cooling.
Worked quite well. (~1980-82 timeframe)

Huge improvement over a single progressive, anyway.
...hmm, bad comparison... lets just say they work at least as well as properly set up Kads.
