thanks for the pictures and information.. at this point I am going to put the original single carb intake when I install the rebuilt engine to work the bugs out (hopefully none) and move towards the modifications as the process unfolds.

For some unknown reason the second pix showing the side mount gen on my engine did not up load, I'll try again. Some place in my stash of EV8 info I have an article and picture of a '39 generator cut down for a fan mount on a wide spread dual carb manifold.. After I loaded the attached pix to this thread I opened the thread for a review, I noted that the side mount generator works very well on the 24 stud 59AB engine, however, the location of the hose down from the radiator to the front mounted inlet/pump will present a problem. An enlarged review of the attached pix will reveal the home made fan mount behind the side mounted generator. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe

I have a Offy Super dual carb manifold on the 59 AB engine in my '36. I used a side mount on the right head to mover the generator out of the way for the wide spread carbs, works great. The fan presents a problem, however the problem can be solved by cutting down the armature from a '39 generator which is a two brush unit that has a ball bearing on the front of the shaft. The '36 fan blade will fit right on the front of the '39 gen. I cut the armature shaft off just to the rear of the bearing housing, I have seen this modification done with the armature cut off on lathe allowing room for the rear bearing plate to be moved forward. The home made fan mount has been on my car since 1954, never had a problem with it.

I have attached photos from a copy of a 24 page Fenton duel intake instruction folder. The folder covers 1932 - 53 Ford Mercury dual intake manifolds. I hope this helps.

Use of the dual carb manifold with the units mounted close together greatly simplifies the installation.

Just checked with MAC's and it looks like they are not going to continue with this product or have it reproduced in the foreseeable future.. back to the drawing board .
