Cal Custom Carb Scoops

Hello Everyone, What I have for sale is a REMAKE of the original Cal Custom air scoops for Rochester carbs (you still can use them on strombergs if you wish). These scoops actually fit the Rochesters as where other remakes are to big (set screw set to high). I had these custom made off the original Cal Custom scoop so everything is just like it was back in the good ol'e days. These scoops come in rough form so it gives you the choice to polish them out, paint them and the choice of where you want to put the set screw (yes this has to be done by you). The scoops are made from aluminum (sand cast) and are very easy to work with. Scoops are $15 each and come with FREE SHIPPING. you can email me at www.projectthx138@hotmail.com to place an order. Enclosed is a picture of the scoops polished out on a friend of mines intake.

Do you have these for the larger Rochester 2 barrel carbs as used on tripower GTO's and 442 Olds? They are larger than the 2gc throat.

Damn, I like those units.

Sorry but I'm not really sure as I didn't know there was a difference. All I can say for sure is that the scoops were molded from the original Cal Custom scoops and they fit the Rochester 2G and 2GC carb (small base) perfect.

THANKS BOB! I just had a hard time trying to get scoops to fit my Rochesters so I just remade them from the originals which are VERY HARD to find.

The true tripower carbs used on the GTO's and 442 Olds in the 1966 period have a bigger diameter neck on them than the standard 2gc carbs. We tried the scoops I have on my 23 on my Sons 442 setup, and they are too small to fit over them. If you ever pop these, let us know.

BTW, I wish someone would repop the Cal Custom 4 barrel scoops that some call frog mouth. They were very cool and when you find them they are either pitted or if good they fetch big money. I'd love a set for the 2 x 4 setup on my 27.

Hey Don,

I just thought the Pontiac carbs had a little taller neck than the Chevy carbs I didn't know they were bigger in diameter too. I know a guy that ran a set of the Pontiac carbs (the one with the vent caps on top of the fuel bowls) because he couldn't find a set of scoops to fit the chevy carbs. The scoops he used were just the after market ones you see everywhere. Both sets (mine and after market ones) have a 2 5/8 neck.
