Reply to "Scratch 351 Cleveland Build - What Specs and Parts?"

A last thoughton the Dominator setup. Additionally Randy posted that in regards to the Boss 302 T/A setup, "the engineers were adding 'balance tubes' to the manifold".

As I understand that, this was in an attempt to reduce or eliminate the reversion.

This is where he is saying that in effect is an attempt to create a common plenum to the manifold, yet retain the IR design, AND that you need a minimum size for the manifold to "see" the plenum and that size is a minimum of 1" under each carb.

HIS dragster showing no positive effects UNTIL that number became 2" by his own experimentation at the strip.

Cutting to the chase, the 6214's at that point become way to big for what becomes a 2x4 intake, and therefore drop that down to a 750 Dominator size.

Now at this point with the spacers you no longer NEED the Dominator carbs, a regular square bore Holley will do the same thing.

The Dominators at this point are there just for looks.

He also comments that the "cable linkage" was "garbage" and that the linkage (I think the one shown in your picture of the Boss 302's engine) was from another known 'factory' car.

To summarize the entire conversations, he is essentially saying, "get rid of the IR feature".
