For example an even tube IN600 as supplied would be 19" above this point and a staggered IN600 would be 20 1/2" above this point. This is where the overall height figures would pretty much be taken from, it is from this point that you can measure the distance up to or through your hood to give you an idea of the height of the unit above your particular engine when mounted. The best way to give you an idea is, if you went to your carburetor mounting studs that hold your carburetor to the intake manifold and then, at carb mounting surface height (Carb Pad) measure outward from the stud (out across the engine toward the valve cover, ie imagine 'the from fender to fender way' ) about an 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" from the center of your carb mounting bolt, then drop an imaginery plumb line down to the top of the intake manifold port runner in that vicinity, and then make a mark here. A little rain wont bother the unit and if you were running a K&N filter element it wont bother the element at all.ĬALCULATING/MEASURING IN600STREETINDUCTION INSTALLED HEIGHT The center four tubes have drain channels in the bottom of the tube adapters so any rain can just run out, there are no holes here because they are above the filter and carburetor, so basically it would actually be better than running a normal air cleaner in rain because most of the air filter element is sheilded from the rain. The IN600 Street Induction has large round (1 1/4") holes in the main body at the bottom of the two front and two rear tubes to allow air from outside, if you were in the rain some rain would go down the front and rear tubes and land on the air filter element at these points, air can also enter inside the main body also. They come with all mounting hardware, full instructions and will accept different height K&N replacement air filter elements. With the 2 1/2" high air filter element 'as shipped' a 5" 'carb pad height' can be acheived. The IN600 Street Induction can be fitted to manifolds with carb 'mounting pad' heights up to around 5" 1/2: with a 2" tall filter element. The IN600 Street Induction adapter plate is secured to the manifold, (not the carb), by two 'through studs' that pass down through the Street Induction adapter and on down into two of the carburetor base mounting holes, thus locating the IN600 STREETINDUCTION inline with the engine and providing attachment to the engine. The lower area of the base is shaped to blend nicely into just about any manifold and can be almost indistinguishable when used on a polished manifold and surrounded by the valve covers, plug leads, hoses, fuel lines etc. The Street Induction is designed to be as universal as possible and could be fitted to almost any four barrel V8 Carb/intake manifold setup whether it be a Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, Pontiac, Olds, AMC, Holden or you name it!. Polished body 'surface brush finish' anodized tubes and anodized 'Ram Tops' protect and completeīecause the Street Induction mounting is designed primarily around the carburetor and into the intake manifold by way of the carburetor mounting holes it's universal application is not limited by the style of manifold and engine brand. Identifiable and absolutely unmatched in quality the IN600 Street Induction is directed toward the serious Rodder seeking the responsiveness of a four barrel engine while at the same time wishing to pursue a relatively inexpensive method of providing a full race look to their street car or boat. Solution.Street Induction! The 'wild injected look' without the associated problems and costs of running a real injector and now with larger 2 9/16" tubes and Ram Tops giving a fuller look so the choices are all yours (some pictures on this page are 2 1/2" tubes). This has left the serious owner of a four barrel engine with no authentic alternative intake look other than an air cleaner or blower type scoop. The most radical motors in racing are 'injected', but because real constant flow injectors are not designed for part throttle operation, most rodders because of costs or technical and drivability difficulties either have to go to an expensive efi (electronic fuel injection) system or are limited to a 4bbl carburetor and aftermarket intake manifold.
