Twin carb manifold
Twin carb manifold
Just looking at some manifolds for the twin carbies I'm getting obsessed with.
There's 2 options - a short one and a long one, both of which can be seens here: http://www.kgtrimning.com/insug.htm
Whats the pros and cons of each one? I'll probably be using 40s if that makes a difference.

Well most events round my way run on navigational permits so technically I could get away with it if the organisors are ok with it. Plus club 12 cars are fine. It just means I wont be able to do proper road rallies (unless I use the Manta), but I'm fine with that. Just wanna go out and have a laugh
I spose you could argue the dealer accessory with the carbs, but the extra engine capacity might cause an issue

For goodness sake make sure you fit air filters. Running open trumpet doesn't gain you measurable power, but will gum up your rings pretty damn quickly. The only application where it's 'safe' is high-level competition usage, where the engines are rebuilt after very limited usage.

and fit good ones !! not those crappy foam ones that set on fire easy
the alpha air boxes are ideal[maybe fiat ones too but i'm not 100%] if you find one and get the carbs too !!!! £40 my brother got his for and got £140[ish?] on ebay for them - not bad for 30 mins work. buckets of sh1t and roses spring to mind.........

Except they don't. Another urban myth with sidedraft carbs, like the Solexs being shite. Mine have been saturated with fuel, and the enigne fires forwards all the time (damn you tuning, you win this time), but a almost year later they're still there...touch wood

I'd definately be using a proper airbox, none of this foam nonsense as it wouldn't be good drving through water/mud!!
Might have got my dirty mits on some Dellorto DLHA 40s....
