The catalog is no longer there Denis.

Sam.

I have an action fours catalog.... ;)

Does it have the 4-2 exhaust, Mick?

Yes Steve it does have a 4 into 2 exhaust in it, Its the one that has 1 and 4 linked and 2 and 3 linked. Its the 1978 catalog, it also states at the top of the page....

Yes, that's the exhaust I have Mick.  Let me know if you want to sell the catalog.

I don't want to sell the catalog Steve but i could copy it for you. It sits proudly with my period RC catalog.... ;)

Patiently waiting.....

Just found the catalog Steve, there's only one pic of the exhaust and no information about it, its a 50 page catalog {lots of scanning !}, do you still want the exhaust page/ whole catalog? , the exhaust bit isn't informative at all..  Actually, just looked, Its exactly the same as the catalog Pewe posted a link to except it has the exhaust pic, I'll scan that page for you..

Scan it at 200 dpi, save it as a jpeg, and attach it directly to the forums. ;)

And how about this little piece of nostalgia. Not a bike but powered by an SOHC nonetheless. I assume Action Four was a major sponsor?

 Did anyone ever determine the method of power transfer between the engines?

Yes. They ran 1 primary chain between the engines and 1 primary chain in the rear engine to the trans. Very weak and limited how much power they could produce.

 OK thanks. I always wondered. If I ever find a cut off mini sprint car engine I'll try to build a twin but with left side drive.  I know a couple guys that had them. Just not now.

Thanks George.  Yes, that is the exhaust I have, didnt know the mufflers were called "Super Trapps".

I tell ya, the installation instructions would have been nice the last time I installed, there definitely is a proper procedure to them correctly.

No problem.  I didn't know myself. 

I just got this in today actually.  I spend a bit of time trying to locate and acquire these vintage catalogs, pics, etc.

Glad to see others interested as well. ;)

It is interesting to see those old catalogs, the prices always seem amazing.  Where did you find it?

Found this one through a friend, it came from Canada.

Notice the US and Canadian dealer price lists.   I particularly like the catalogs from the dealers that have a the pricing info still with them.  About 8 pages of pricing...
