Can't say I've seen a MOON intake for an OHC 6 before?
Looks sort of like the old Offenhauser side draft... |
... except the carbs appear to mount (near) vertical.
Too bad someone hacked off the mounting ears. |

yea my referend was more on the runner design.
The only intake I'm aware of with top mount aftermarket carbs was the MANAFRE Tri-Powers. Agree its too bad that MOON deal is cut up. |

Interesting, I also have never seen a Moon OHC-6 intake, or a downdraft Webber carb intake for a OHC-6. I do remember seeing pictures of a early 67 Firebird Sprint GM test mule with downdraft Webbers, but was never able to find out what intake was used. We may need to talk to Fred S about it.

I remember seeing one on the net a long time ago.
This is from the Moon 1970 catalog (sorry it’s blurry). It shows the Pontiac OHC intake model # 25-11010 for the complete kit and 25-11020 for just the manifold. It used 48IDA downdraft webers. On that particular intake there is a post from last year from the seller, that bought it off EBay in 2004 thinking it was for a Chevy 250. He cut the flanges and did some welding on it. |

This is from the sellers post on the Inline Drag group page:
I bought this MQQN intake because it was advertised for a 230-292. Unfortunately I started to modify it to fit a 250 and abandoned the project. Years later I found out that it was made for a Pontiac OHC6. Wish I had known that before I cut off the ears and welded up the inside of 1 of them. Now its jus shelf art *♂️ That must be a very rare intake! I think he included pictures of the original EBay as in 2004 |

Here is a vintage article showing the manifold.

What vintage was the Moon kit? The article shows a 5-digit phone#.:confused:
|
Zip code?
You can see why they did not sell many, $450 in 1970 is like $3790 today. |
Man I have too many files, I forgot all about that old Ad clip.

60 years later and Moon is still at that address.
|
I took a chance on the manifold and have it coming my way. Hopefully it can be restored.

I contacted Dave about buying it but must have been a day too late.
Good luck with the project and let us know how it goes. I briefly considered using them to fabricate and EFI intake using a plenum like those Supra guys use. |
