Inline 6 carb setup

[DougnDog]

Hey guys
I could use a little help My first time setting up 3 single carbs from scratch. I have copyed the setup from Offenhauser using some of the parts that came with the manifold. I know its not for my type of carbs (Ball & Ball) but with a little tweaking I think it will work. What do you think ?? in the picture the center arm is just a mock up of what I think I need. it is close in design to the one in the Offe installation instructions. I think that with this setup I can run them stright or progressive, tho my carbs are jeted for stright. any helpful info is welcome. It would be nice to see some pictures of linkage for multi carb setups.As always THANK YOU GUYS for being so helpful in the past and I'm sure in the future as well
Doug

Nice...

Nice looking setup, should be fun and looks great.
Unfortunately my linkage is on the engine side of the carbs, so
I can't be much help on this one.

Here is my set up, for what it is worth..

And a similar set up, a clearer image..

24 Dodge has a nice 3 X 1 set up on his Late Chevy 6, with similar
linkage, maybe he can help you on this one... '22

Here my set up with Rochesters. The center bell crank is a modified stock one. The cranks on the end pushes up on the carb linkage. There were parts in the kit I had no idea what they for and the instruction were not very helpful.

I've set it up progressive. The outboards start at about 1/4 throttle and only are about 1/2 to 2/3 open when at full throttle. Which might be OK. I'm going to try my outboard cranks like yours and see what that does. I'd like to get them to open faster and match the center carb at full throttle.

mine is non progressive and just a straight shaft mounted to some old eelco arms , I don`t think it will help much.
