alsancle Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'm trying to identify this intake I found in my dad's basement. I know it doesn't fit pre-war super8 and I measured against his 53 Caribbean and it was smaller. Over on the Hamb: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=190449&highlight=packard+edmundsthere is a Edmunds catalog and this sure looks similar to 1751 which is for Packard. My question is did Packard have a smaller 8 in the 50s? I guess I should know this but I thought there was only the one straight 8 carried in all the lines.A.J.

Clipper47 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Maybe for the smaller 282 CID 8 cylinder engine used on the junior Clippers and 120 1935-47? The 288, 327, 256, 359 all interchange as mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard8 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 As I recall, all of the manifolds from the 288, 327, 356 & 359 will interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 If it fits the 282, I call dibs - please advise if you are wanting/willing to sell it and I will pay a fair price. Please contact me at flackmaster@sbcglobal.net thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like it was too small when I measured it yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Over in the Hamb thread which I linked in my topic it looks like this has been identified as Pontiac.Thanks for all the help.A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flackmaster Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Indeed I have been researching the dimensions you provide, and have researched Pontiac as well. My conclusion is there is posssibly some difference between them, but it cannot be much. Certainly different carb options, 3 bolt, 4 bolt and different throat size. My sources reveal 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and 1.5" carb holes. You figure. Further, my machine shop is willing to take on the project, even if it means a bit of port matching. I would need to have them make an exhaust heat blockoff plate anyway, so they say bring the intake, exhaust and block and they will "make" it work. Will you sell the manifold? Please?

imported_v12lincoln Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I have an old edunds dual intake that Ive had for years, looks brand new and polished, its not for a Packard though, I am having it cut to pit my 41 120 business coupe, the 282 intake I meausred is 8 inchs from outer to inner ports and 8 1/4" on the 2 center ports. This might be a 288 intake also as I didnt make it, I plan on taking my original intake off when I get ready to have the edmunds modified. I have a pic of it but have to figure out how to post it.

alsancle Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-EDMUNDS-CUSTOM-Dual-Carburetor-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-8-Cylinder-Original/323817201172 Buy an original if you can, the reproductions, at least the first ones, did not have the right plenum structure and it was hard to get the car to run right.

old_Art Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 A little late for the party, but for everyone's future reference, alsancle's manifold IS a Pontiac 8. The giveaway is the linkage pin on the outside of the manifold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
