I reduced the size for you.

I don't want to hi-jack your thread, but went I was at the Studebaker Meet at South Bend last summer, a lot of us took our cars to the Osceola Drag Strip. There was a Packard Clipper that did very well. Not sure of what ET or speed it did.

It has two 4s and 3 on the tree.

very interesting. the air cleaner setup shows me what I have to look for. Thanks for reducing the photos, I can't download software at work and they don't let us use the floppy drive any more for writing only reading. i will delete my post with the large pictures.

thanks

Normally the Carribbean dual quad manifold uses a "batwing" triangular air cleaner with the cans that hang below it on the sides. Those are quite expensive when you find one. The setup in Leonard's pictures isn't factory, but a pragmatic (=cheaper) way to do it.

You are absolutely on the mark. The only one that I know for a fact that had it is one that traded hands for $1000.

The whole setup, air cleaner, carbs, and manifold could run as high as 5K or higher depending on correctness and condition. Not my bag for this car. I just bought 2 of the aftermarket kind.

Good enough--let the Carribbean boys have all of the expensive set-ups. I remember the year 1985-'86 at Carlsile and Hershey, all of the 2,3,4 and 6 carb manifolds that people couldn't wait to get off of their cars (so they would start, idle and not stall on an everyday, just-get-me-to-work-and-back-basis) so many of those cars got a junkyard 2bbl-4bbl manifold and carb set up a few years after they left the factory, and the urge to make cars original all came at once, there were manifold/carb(s)/aircleaner set ups everywhere.

some of them would have made good investments!
