Aluminum 2-4 intake Question

[Hank Rossi]

I have an aluminum intake [3762394] with two carbs that have 1299 lids. The rear carb has AB2385 on the choke cover. How can I determine what year this fits, and if these are the correct carbs for this manifold. I can't find any markings or numbers on the aluminum air cleaners. They have steel mesh in the sides and what appears to be fiberboard in the top. Any help would be appreciated.

My books are at home but it sounds like you have a 2nd design 56 set-up. What numbers are on the float bowls? Rob

Hank -

No such item as casting #3762394 - it's probably #3731394, which is the 2nd Design '56 intake. The 1299 air horns were used from '57-up 2x4's with 0-049 or 0-1049 main bodies. The 2nd Design '56 2x4 setup used 6-1151 or 6-1156 or 6-1203 air horns with 0-049 main bodies with 1-1387A (or B) throttle bodies with large air screws in the base.

Your choke cover is AB238S "S" as in SAM not 5.
