Hi I'm trying to fit a set of 45 webers to a mk2 16v and I need to find out what degree bend I need in the inlet so they sit level of anyone can help that would be great Thanks
There's a few different manifolds available some better than others . As I'm not on cabs I can't think of specific threads just read them and moved on to the next thread . Try looking at some of Jon Olds stuff he's a carb man
The manifolds out there usually require modifying alternator bracket, prices are about 180-250 Been looking into it as having trouble with k-jet myself Mr hillclimer has these made and are highly recommended maybe worth a look
Pretty much all the manifolds you can buy are within the DCOE/DHLA angle tolerance. I'm a carb man? Maybe. I'm a clubman for sure, where VFM matters. TB's have many many advantages, such as being to vary airflow at any angle. And I love electronics...... Jon Good to chew this info, as there is always something to learn
Most manifolds will sit the carbs at the correct or suitable angle. Carbs can cope with a 7 degree tilt...a little more with the float heights re set. Our manifold has a slight tilt but not much...all the carb engines that I've supplied them for run fine. Be careful of the manifolds with a kick up to clear the alternator...they flow very poorly.
