v12lincoln Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I am looking for a 2x2 intake that will fit my 1932 Buick 60 series 8cyl. Right now it is still all stock and runs fine but the carb leaks real bad so looking for a down draft setup to give it a little more performance when climbing the Donner Summit when I take it to Reno for Hot August Nights.It made it up there from Sacramento 2 years ago but would not go over 45 on the steep parts, the rest of the time 60-65 was no problem.Even a single 2 barrel down draft intake would work. Please PM me if you have anything that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronsoldcars Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have a 32 56 series Buick that I woudl like to change to a down draft carb. Any info and help would be appreciated. I just purchased the car and it is not running well at all. We cleaned out the carb and that did not seem to help. I had to replace the engine water jacket cover. When we removed the old one, you would not believe how much crap we found inside the caveties. Right now, I just need help on converting to a down draft carb Ron Ayerswww.classiccarssouthcarolina.com1-864-313-2908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janousek Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 You can flip the intake upside down and make an adapter for a single two barrel. Rochester WCFB carb from a 52' Buick works great. Otherwise the spacing is different than the newer 248/320 engines that Edmunds built manifolds for. Your only option is a custom made intake or purchase the Edmunds and modify the spacing. The cost of the Edmunds and then cutting it up doesn't make sense. A new one from scratch makes more sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
