for either side draught, 30 degrees semi downdraught or downdraught inlet manifold. I presume you'll want the 30 degree semi downdraught to go with that 1 1/4" SU (ex-Mini)
I'd recommend ordering the blue spring and the No 6 needle while you're at it although with my Rosengart a No 5 needle seems to do a better job (rebuilt engine just back from workshop now need to run in my engine... similar set up as you're planning exhaust manifold not Bunch of bananas but tubular 4 into 2 into 1)
I've bought several parts from Paul Armstrong and in my experience he's ok
Thank you, Michael.
As you presume, I shall need a 30 degree side draught as I have a carburettor from an early Morris Minor 1000. It has a new, blue spring and, I think, an AH needle, but this is from a dodgy memory.
The ports on the linked manifold look a rather odd shape, but I assume that this is distortion from the picture. I shall give them a call and have a chat with them.
Does anyone know whether or not John Barlow is still trading? I tried to contact him a while ago, but to no avail. I was wondering what he charges for his manifolds, if he still does them.
Regards,
Jamie.
