    Cool looking for Carb Intake Manifold

    Looking into swithing 1815 to Carb from the K-Jet.... Anyone have access to an Intake Manifold that will work on the PRV? And what Carb is recommended?

    Thanks,

    RTC

    I've seen a few different options:

    -Bill Robertson's fabricated manifold
    -Modified Peugeot 604 manifold
    -Modified K-Jet manifold

    I have a working modified K-Jet manifold that will be available for sale sometime this Winter.

    Bill Robertson is the go-to guy, but there are guys heer and on http://dmctoday.com/ that are really good with carb conversions.

    I recently saw a fabricated manifold that was made by a [then] 16 year-old owner and his Dad. I rode in this car a few weeks ago....runs nice!

    Here's a pic...I think this setup has been running for about 10 years, but I don't recall exactly:

    I'm partial to the Peugeot manifold. But that's what I have experience with. Thus, I cant speak to the other options.

    That looks good. When I did mine I lucked out and found a guy parting out a Peugeot 604 here in Canada.

    From what I understand, Bill Robertson has 4 manifolds remaining that work for a Motocraft 2100 carburetor. [email protected]

    Actually Rich, you have also seen a 100 percent stock Peugeot manifold on 5052 :-) However you have probably seen another one with an Autoline 2100 carb bolted on with a custom adapter plate over the two bbl opening and a block off plate over the single bbl.

    Furthermore, just last week I installed a complete Peugeot 604 system on 4194. Aside from replacing the base gaskets and freeing up the stuck linkage I have done no mods whatsoever. As far as the manifold carb assembly is concerned, it was direct bolt-in. I have already put on about 100 test miles since finishing up thaw conversion on Thursday night.
