Title: Intake manifold questions
Post by: andrewlandon67 on February 28, 2015, 06:50:14 am
So this may be a stupid question, but what is/was the point of short manifolds for IDA's? I've read about them in the Cal-look books among other places, and I'm not quite sure what the purpose was.

For power, short manifolds = high rpm. Tall manifolds = low rpm.
Short manifolds also reverse the carburetor.

Reverse the carbs? Like the carbs just face the other way?
