One of the things that I really like from grev is just. baby Takao. Like believe me when I say that my parental and elder sibling instincts were activated the moment I saw him onscreen. He's precious. He's not traumatized. He must be protected. He's so cute and tiny and squishy and huggable and babie. We need more baby Takao. The world needs more of baby Takao's cuteness.

A fuel-delivery system every multi-carburetor system should have and anyone can make
Is there anything quite as sexy as a crop of carburetors sprouting from an engine? Yeah it’s been proven time and again that a single four-barrel on the right manifold will out-perform a multi-carb setup, but nobody ever wrote a song about a single Quadrajet. Whether by two, three, four, or even eight, carburetors in multiples can really make an engine look better.
So if we’re willing to sacrifice performance for aesthetics, why would we drop the ball on the details? You’ve certainly seen it before and maybe you’ve had it before, a tangle of generic black hose and a hodgepodge of hardware-store worm clamps cobbled up to distribute fuel. To sacrifice performance for looks then stub your toe on sloppy work just ain’t right.
So we’re going to show another way that hardly costs any more yet looks more fitting. Our pal Marshall Woolery at Thun Field Rod & Custom has a handsome and effective way to plumb a multi-carb induction system. The backbone is the time-honored cornerstone of vintage-speed construction: inexpensive copper tubing.
Now, the seasoned among us would like to make an observation: Copper isn’t the ideal material to use for plumbing anything on a car, much less highly flammable fuel. You see, non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum have a shortcoming: they have no fatigue limit.
The fatigue limit defines the amount of stress (usually bending) a material can endure before it fails (cracks). Ferrous metals have a distinct fatigue limit and if the stress never rises to that amplitude, the material should last indefinitely.
Not so for non-ferrous materials like copper and aluminum: they’ll eventually fail from even moderate vibration. And vintage engines are chock full o’ vibrations, most well beyond moderate.
But this method employs materials in a way that increases strength and durability—or at least distributes the load across a larger area. Basically permanently fastening the tubes to each other lets each share the load with the others. It’s a construction method that Marshall’s employed for decades without fail. And with very few exceptions, the cars he builds are drivers.
Also, one other note: while we did this with fittings that are exclusive to Stromberg and Holley/Ford 94s, the methods apply to any carburetor design. Compression fittings don’t exist for all carburetor types but adapter bushings to NPT threads usually do, and that’s the gateway to hardware-store compression fittings. So this is just as easy to do on a trio of Rochester 2Gs or a pair of Holleys.
Yeah an engine with a single four-barrel may outperform our multiple-carburetor induction systems. But they’ll never hold a candle to them looks-wise. And best of all, it’s an affordable aesthetic, at least as far as the plumbing goes.
Marshall uses ordinary soft copper refrigeration pipe, the kind that comes in coils at hardware stores. For this application he uses 1/4 inch, the same size that Strombergs and early Holleys for Ford applications use.
Soft copper tubing bends easily by hand but a hand-bent tight radius will kink it or at the very least make it look awful. Use a proper tubing bender.
The cornerstone of this job is a 1/4-inch compression fitting. It looks like hardware-store material but it isn’t; it has the 1/2-20 UNF thread for Stromberg 97s and Holley/Ford 94s. Summit Racing sells the Stromberg-brand part as number 9081K.
Bend the first line with enough lead on it to position your fuel line. That’s your baseline location. Cut the other leads slightly long (as shown here) and shorten the long line’s lead to make it meet the other line properly.
The lines can enter the bundle in various ways but they should form a square of sorts where they meet. Clothespins double as third and fourth hands during the fitting process. The length of the lines really doesn’t matter at this point so long as they’re all as long or longer than the desired length.
With the lines oriented in the final position, snug up each fitting. Tight isn’t essential here; we just want to stabilize the lines.
Then mark the lines to lay where you want the assembly to end. In this case Marshall cut the front carburetor’s line the correct length from the start then made the others fit.
Disassemble the lines and inspect the ends for damage. They’ll inevitably have burrs in the inside diameter. Naturally these hurt flow.
So deburr them. Marshall uses a purpose-made deburring tool but a hand reamer works just as well.
The difference deburring makes is obvious. It also doesn’t hurt to square off the end with a fine file. Details matter.
Marshall uses a common copper-pipe butt fitting. Naturally it’s oversized (5/8 inch here) to accommodate all four tubes but they fit in with just a tiny bit to spare.
We need to tighten gaps to make good, solid sweat joints. For this Marshall made a mandrel from four pieces of 1/4-inch bar stock welded together in a square.
He then chisels the fitting to make it conform to the mandrel. Note the hose clamp; it prevents the fitting from sliding too far down the mandrel.
The new shape shows just how much less solder this joint will require. Plus it just looks trick.
The system needs a threaded fitting to connect to the rest of the system. An NPT adapter bushing has a ready-made thread in it but it’s just to fit in the butt fitting.
So Marshall knocks the threads off and sets the OD in his lathe. Note that he doesn’t touch the hex portion.
Marshall then scuffed the adjoining areas with an abrasive pad and applied soldering flux.
He sweat the various joints with common plumbing solder. Note that he also sweat the joints between the tubes themselves. Bonding the tubes makes the whole assembly stronger.
Here’s the inlet with the cut-down reducer bung. Note that the solder flows a ways into the tube joint. This promotes solder flow between the tubes where they enter the bung, a space that suffers a significant gap that’s more difficult to fill than a tight joint.
And here’s the finished piece assembled on the car. Whether polished, oxidized, or even plated, it’ll attract attention from those who know what they’re looking at.
Industrial-supply houses also carry these micro-sized ells and tees among others. They open the door to other designs that don’t necessarily lend themselves to the complex manifold style as shown before.
Such a case is the enduring 2×2 manifold. This design can use a simple tee and just one bend to get the job done. The hose can attach directly to a stub soldered in the open leg of the tee or to a bung soldered to that stub.
