The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I was laying down last night in preparation of some "Z's", and I remembered that IF, your "street-rod" is a 39 Deluxe, or 40 Standard or Deluxe, your fan issues are non-existant, as your fan resides on the crankshaft. Prolly not relevant, but I thought I'd put that in before some 40's guy drags me over the coals.

Ole:

You've stated that your application is a Street Rod. Given the fact that the Edelbrock "Super" has no provision for a generator or fan, since it is actually a competition manifold, you will be able to
run a generator, or alternator using the provided cylinder head bracket. You will not, however be able to use a fan, since there is no provision on the front of the manifold for any type of bracket.
If you feel you need a fan,(we often ran without them in So-Cal in the Fifties), you can always install an after market electric unit. I'd be interested to know a little more about the "street rod", as that would help in suggesting appropriate pieces.

That is a cylinder head generator mount. It allows you to mount the generator on the cylinder head. You will have to install longer studs to use it and buy a fan bracket if you intend to use a stock fan.

Here is a link to a site where you can purchase the parts.

The Edelbrock "Super" is one of the best manifolds in terms of efficiency ever made for a flathead.
The downside, as you have discovered, is that it was primarily designed as a no-compromise performance part. The carbs are spaced apart to give a more direct path from the carb throats to the intake ports, plus there is adequate space between them to make Stromberg jetting changes without having to pull the carbs. 37' is spot-on regarding the need for 3-longer head studs, and you will also have to fore-go any generator-mounted fan applications. The manifold was really designed for
racing applications, which often used a magneto in place of the battery ignition, wherein the generator would just be an unnecessary parasitic drag on the engine.

I think the bracket has holes in it that line up with the head studs,
I have never have done this,
they made the 2 2's manifold that you could use the original generator and not move it to the side, [ the carbs were mounted closer together,]
I have a original SHARP intake manifold., it is on a counter and I look at it,maybe some day,
once you start this hop up, its takes a lot things to make it work right,
check and see if I am right,you will probably need to replace the 3 head studs with longer ones, be careful not to break any removing them,
good luck, lets hear how you made out,

I purchased an Edelbrock Super 11001 2-pot intake for my street rod. It has no bracket at the front of the manifold for the generator mount. Instead, it came with an offset bracket but with no instructions on how it should be mounted. I understand the need to offset the gen to clear the carb, but where/how does the bracket bolt up?
