Wow, it's amazing to me that there is still so much undiscovered and fascinating bits of auto history like this out there.

[cudaken]

Hover and the Ramchargers where bored shit less at one of there meetings?

[rt green]

so much for air getting in

[Ghoste]

Yeah, no kidding huh?  I'm really curious what the purpose of this thing was.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

I guess that what you get when you have a couple spare six pack bowls, air grabber flappers and some good drugs.

[Ghoste]

Thats what those are?  Chalk it up to hoax then, they roped me.

[green69rt]

Can anyone guess how this thing may work or is something missing??   I can't see anyway for fuel to get from the bowls into the intake and even then four of  the intake holes are blocked by the plates.   Maybe those replacement metering block have holes I can't see.

Yep, something is missing, the 6 Pack. 

[Ghoste]

Mytur let the cat out, it's just something boogered together.  I kept wondering for the longest time what it could have been used to test since clearly there was no air going through it but once he said air grabber doors you can see that he's right.

,  have good points  ,   was looking at the pictures for a good few minutes trying to figure out what was happening  , even to a point of comparing a picture of  another iron six pack intake side by side ,  unless there is a bolt on tunnel ram type thing missing &   80 percent of the parts are still MIA & whats left the guy has assemble wrong  
not April first is it

Naa,  I think it'll work just fine once you get the floats adjusted.

see always did say holleys are more complicated to dial in      give me a edlebrock thunder any day  

[A383Wing]

you guys are not seeing the picture here...the air goes in through those 2 little holes in the center into where the middle carb mounts..it's basically the first NASCAR re-stricter plate....

[Mytur Binsdirti]

It's assembled two different ways....             

[maxwellwedge]

I am guessing it was some kind of test rig to measure some aspect of fuel or air flow or maybe it's a space/time continuum thing.....

[Ghoste]

Like on "Dude Where's My Car?" or more like one of the Star Trek kind?

[Indygenerallee]

  flux capacitor!!!!

[tan top]

It's assembled two different ways....            

yeah ,  in the top picture ! that configuration , is high rpm horsepower  , & in  the bottom  picture that  configutation  , is for  low down torque ,  similar to the 413 long ram &  short ram intakes  

[A383Wing]

so I wonder if you can adjust those "on the fly" while driving??   

[XH29N0G]

Seriously now.  Do you think this is one of us.  Someone here who posted an ad just to see if it would be picked up and discussed until the cows come home?

[daveco]

I'd guess the float bowl assemblies were for testing fuel flow through the needle and seat, possibly at various angular orientations.
The rest is just what was handy and could be screwed together.

that did cross my mind  , or a guy on another site  maybe 

[A383Wing]

the seller is "js29u0b"...which translates to what kind of car? Also from Alabama

[Ghoste]

Ted Stephens isn't one for internet hoaxes.  (thats the first guess I have)

[A383Wing]

his seller name translates to this:

Description   Interpretation   Code
Model:   Dodge Challenger   J
Price Class:   Special   S
Body Type:   2 door sports hardtop   29
Engine:   440ci V8 4bbl HP (RB motor)   U
Year:   1970

[Ghoste]

Which is why I guessed Stephens when you said Alabama.

[cudaken]

Cast iron Bong? 

[hemigeno]

Body Type:   2 door sports hardtop   29

This fella's user name should set off an alarm bell... never seen a JS29 1970 Challenger R/T before... plenty of JS23's and JS27's, but no 29's.

Someone's having a little fun.

[Ghoste]

More like a lot of fun if it generated this much discussion on this little forum.  Did it make it to Moparts?

[maxwellwedge]

Hemigeno - you have seen one......JS29 is an RT/SE Challenger....totally legit stuff.....I have one...or 2

[nascarxx29]

I forwarded this post to a local friend. He has Jack Werst crew chief back in the day Hemi Fred Ristagnio.To see what he thinks

[Budnicks]

yeah the 6bbl manifold might not have anything to do with the, Holley bowls shafts & fuel shut offs probably, just was in the box of parts maybe, my guess is that was used on some sort of fuel system carb fuel regulation or FI possibly, to meter fuel coming & going to a remote tank or something along those lines, the shafts going thru the aluminum blocks on the backside of the bowls "maybe have a barrel valve inline or some sort of thing to regulate fuel" IMHFO the way it's shown, there's no way to get air & fuel in that way it's sett up/assembled, it wouldn't work, someone mixing parts trying to pass something off that it probably isn't... who knows really... probably wants to know about what it is, "he said he didn't really want to sell, so it's priced high", he wants information... just doesn't have all the parts/pieces to accurately display it, it may have some real history, but like I said before who really knows... I'd like to take it apart & see what them aluminum plates & shafts have & what they do... It could have been some type of engineering project... I'm curious that way

Hummm Maybe he's on For E-Bodies only forum, I'm not on there, I go to FBBO allot thou

[hemigeno]

Hemigeno - you have seen one......JS29 is an RT/SE Challenger....totally legit stuff.....I have one...or 2

Shows how much I know about E-Bodies...  




All I'd have had to do is look up JS29 in Galen's little white book to see the truth.  One of these days I'll learn not to shoot from the lip.

I have a picture proving Gene's love of E-bodies! Possibly the only one in existence.

[rt green]

i know what it is.  its art

There can't be that many such photos - not too many people let me within arm's reach of their E-bodies.  If I'm not mistaken, the only one I've rode in is your yellow one.  You're a brave man, Troy... 

Jim/maxwellwedge is right, he did let me drool over a couple of his.  I went back and looked at the photos from that trip though, and the one I thought could have been a RT/SE was instead a JS27  (awesome car it is, too!!).

[maxwellwedge]

It was the original paint, purple Hemi-Challenger RT/SE.....can't find any pics here at the moment.

Found a little pic of it on Rogers site....remember now? 

[rarefish]

Someone needs to step up to the plate and put a bid in on this thing, but I know it won't be me....

As cool and rare as that car is, I didn't snap any photos of it.  Come to think of it, there weren't many cars in that shed which weren't rare and cool.  Must have been sensory overload on my part...

Someone needs to step up to the plate and put a bid in on this thing, but I know it won't be me....

It still has over 3 days remaining; but with a $2,000 starting bid, my hope is that NO ONE bids - or that the seller cancels the auction if someone does take the bait.
