Hello,i am looking for an edelbrock p22 intake or a complete dual quad setup with a p22 intake or just a factory carb setup without the intake for my 61 catalina.It currently has the original 389 10.25 compression motor.

Just FYI, the Offy intake is closer to the original Pontiac intake than the edelbrock, and you can use the original style air cleaners with the Offy intake, you can't with the edelbrock.

We are out of the 2x4 Offenhauser manifolds, but this list may help you decide which Offenhauser will suit your needs.

Can help with carbs, once you obtain a manifold.

I have a '5162' that per Carbkings chart says it's for 61-64. But it is different from the one pictured in his chart. The water outlet is different. 61Catalinaguy, if you don't come up with one anywhere else, I would sell this one. PM me if interested.

[tom s]

there is a brand new one on ebay now.Tom

[61catalinaguy]

I am looking at the one on e-bay too.

Tom, can you post a link to the new one on ebay. I searched and the only new one I found was a high rise for 65-up, not a 5162. I want to compare a picture to the 5162 that I have.

Hey everyone who responded to this add.I appreciate all the responce and i bought the intake off from e-bay from vintage auto and speed equipment.I do need some advice on carter carbs as far as the setup.

I went with dual 1965 Pontiac Carter AFBs. I have 2 spares for sale. One rebuilt and one not.

Here are the other 2 on my star chief

Not to hijack this thread, but Poison Heart, do you remember the Part # of that intake? The one I have looks exactly like it. It has '5162' on the underside.

[poison heart]

This one has a part number of 5029 but it is not a 5029 intake. I have no idea how the part number was cast wrong into it. This intake is made to fit the 55-60 AND 61-64 heads. I'm not exactly sure which part number this intake should be but it does fit 55-60 AND 61-64 since this intake does have both coolant passages and is even shaped different than all other 5029 intakes I have seen. I didn't notice that it had both coolant passages and when I filled the motor up with coolant HUGE leak. hahaha



This one is a 5162 which I think came in low rise and a higher rise. I believe this one is the taller one.


That's on a '63 389. Notice how the front of the intake lines up with the 63 timing cover.



There's a 5161 intake with the low rise design. That's on a '60 block with 59 parts. Notice the bolt hole and water passage in the very front of the intake and how it does not line up with the 59 timing cover.

I hope this helps.

Well,i just received my dual quad intake.It is a offy 360 equa-flow high rise manifold,part number 5707.It looks impressive and the box has 55-64 on it. I am going to call The Carb Shop very soon to get some options on carbs.Thanks for the info on carb numbers.When i learn to post picts on this forum, i get some picts soon.Jeff.

After looking at your pictures, I went to the shop to look at my intake again. It is definitely a '5162' but it is a twin to the first one you pictured. It has the water outlet coming out the front, not out the top like the others you posted; and the later (65-up) intakes. It is a low rise intake and is missing the 'adapters' to mount the carbs.

[poison heart]

Post a picture of it. Especially the bottom
