Having tuned up, screwed up, and fixed my share of six pack set ups; I’d consider it several times before switching the set up over to progressive linkage. I agree, the stock set up does open up the outboard carbs rather slow. However, a switch to progressive linkage almost guarantees “bog city”. Though the traditional way of getting vacuum secondaries (in this case your outboard carbs) to open quicker is to install a lighter spring on the vacuum diaphragm(s); the six pack set up responds much better to reducing the orifice size of the kill bleeds. If the kill bleeds are small in diameter the outboard carbs open at a lower rpm. If they are big, they open later.

A few months ago, someone posted a link to a real good article, “Installation and Tuning of the Six Pak Induction System” which talks a lot about this. Have not been able to find it, but if I can I’ll po

six packs to go, inc fax#770-483-6078
i asked for information from this guy and he claims that you send him your entire six pack setup and he converts the whole setup to progressive linkgage with accelerator pumps on all 3 carbs to prevent bogging. it costs aroun $700 i think? he also claims to have a patent pending on his triple pumper.

don't waste your money on progressive linkage. i have zero bog and zero hesitation at any rpm range. when set right they are awesome. if your short block is not in great condition [ at least 140 psi on ALL cylinders] and pumping like it is suppose to then you will experience problems with air flow.

I bought an original 70 6 BBl carbs, and intake for 700 bucks. I think that is about the going price, seemed fair to me anyway. I sent the carbs to Six Packs to Go in Atlanta and had them cleaned and refurbished and switched to progressive for my 4 speed RR. Around 700 more bucks including shipping. Lets just say the new set up is bad to the bone! I love the progressive compared to vacuum. There is absolutley no other sound as sweet when the outboards open up.

If the Co sixpackgut gave is in GA, that's the one I've heard of. They convert the end carbs with an accelerator pump so you can launch it. Holley used to offer special end carbs with a pump but they are long ago discontinued and seldom seen. If you have a motor and especially a convertor to handle 3 at once, they're awsome.

since i wrote that message about six packs to go, i have been very curious if anyone had went to him. i believe in theory how the progressive linkage and 3 acc pumps would work great. but i was a little nerveous about sending my carbs to a guy that didnt have a phone #. so, i have since spent maybe around $100 and a few days rebuilding my carbs. that includes buyin new vac pod diaphrams and holley power valve saver and spring kit along with the rebuild kits. i found out that 2 kits could rebuild all 3 carbs. let me just say that the car is like night and day from before. the car runs so much better, idles better and whenever i want it, i mash the peddle and the outboards open without a bog or backfire, tires blazin thru 1st,2nd, and a little 3rd. thats with a pinion snubber, leafs unclamped and long shocks. bf drag radails here i come.

I finally took my Sixpack Setup off my 440 because it wouldnt idle down! it would idle well over 1200 rpm in park. If you adjusted the A/F screws in or out it wouldnt make a difference and the Fuel bowl level was set to the bottom of the sight hole. If you pulled forward on the throttle linkage to close it. It would idle down but the idle screw on the linkage was already backed all the way out!? and i adjusted it with the outboards both disconnected! so i pulled it off and stuck a Edelbrock TorkerII on it and a 750 Edelbrock! runs great although id rather have the Six-pack setup on it!

pink 71,all the linkage on the six is adjustable.the rods to the outboards screw to shoten or lenthen. you need to adjust these rods somtimes to uncover idle circuit slots in the outboards. the outboard carbs also have idle mix screws that might be covered by tin in the front of each carb. to adjust air/fuel on a six pack properly can be rewarding but very time consumeing. your problem though sounds like the cable adjustment from your pedal. also could be week carb springs. i know my setup has at least 2 maybe 3. i cursed my sixpack when i bought the car and thought about doin the same thing as you but i downloaded the page provided be EHOSTLER 11 posts ago and did my homework.

I have 340 6pk setup that I got about 20 years ago. It has the acc pumps on all 3 carbs and an ajustable mechanical linkage. worked great on the 360 in a 69 dart I had. sold the car years ago still have the Intake and carbs.If anyone is looking will sell as I don't have a car to use it on and they won't let me use it on my dirt track car--shucks.

Default 340 6pk

Just to give you the heads up. The intake & carbs have been sitting in my shed for the last 10-12 years. So everything needs a good cleaning and the carbs should be rebuilt. The last time I used it the gaskets were dried out and leaked untill the gas swelled them back up. If your really intrested I could blast the intake to make it look like new but I would leave the carb rebuilds up to you. It also has a fuel log and pressure guage that gos with. $800.00 I believe is reasonable. Thanks Dan

hell of a setup... rebuilding the carbs wouldn't be a prob, and i would probably get new gaskets, but thats a bit out of my price range... thanx anyway!

merry christmas!

Can someone tell me how to find this? I'm getting a six pack and want to learn all I can.

Unfortunately I learned to late how difficult these are. Had I known, I probably would not have bought it.

Thanks,

Don

Don,

This link (now dead) was on an article published in the Jan '92 copy of Chrysler Power Magazine (also dead). "Installation and Tuning of the Six Pak Induction System", by Dr. Jerry Binder. I have a photo copy of it (pictures are of poor quality) which I will try and scan at work and get it into some form to send to you.

Has anybody used the six pack super stock manifold? I'm thinking of getting one for the 493" stroker I'm building this winter.
