Intake Manifold ID

Post by Mark Osterman » Sun May 05, 2019 11:30 am

Picked up this accessory cast iron intake manifold at our local flea market this morning. Any ideas as to what carburetor it fits?

That’s interesting ... like a Carter carburetor?

I'd have to measure the distance between bolt holes and the diameter of the throat, but it looks like a Winfield V would bolt up rather nicely to it... I think some Zeniths also have a similar flange / spacing... there were a lot of vertical updraft aftermarket carbs out there to allegedly improve on the venerable NH, and quite a few adaptations from other vehicle manufacturers - some (like the aforementioned Winfield) did so rather admirably, some fell a little short.

Thanks Susanne. Do you happen to have any pictures of an intake like this installed with the carburetor. Curious what the vacuum port was for.

Vacuum fuel pump, wolf whistle, windshield wiper. More likely vacuum fuel pump as the carb fuel bowl would now be higher then the bottom of the gas tank for under seat tanks.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
