Title: Type 3 manifolds..... Post by: Lee.C on September 25, 2008, 23:04:06 pm Anyone know what height Type 3 manifolds are for dual carbs (stock) ??? ??? ???

Post by: nicolas on September 27, 2008, 19:16:10 pm yep they are that short and i am guessing you'll get clearance problems with the alternator... you need higher manifolds but you could use the carbs on your car. i am sort off planning a combo like yours but with type3 carbs for the squareback. but i need to do a lot before i can tell you how it runs. but i know a guy that has a 1835cc with original type3 carbs if i am correct and it runs good. i'll need to check it though. he lives close by, i'll bump into him sometime and ask him then.

(http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Iowamark/Picture049.jpg) Thanks for the pic mark they are really short :o :) by the way is that a buggy chassis in the back ground ??? :) And nicolas I am not planning on using type 3 carbs/manifolds - I just wanted to know what kind of length they were so I could shorten a pair of race trim manifolds I have ;) I have seen it done before and I have a friend who can machine the new top plates for me :) I am planning on running a pair of Weber 40DCN's (like the ONE i have at the moment :D) I have 3 spare and I have lined up an original DDS linkage that should work with the SHORT manifolds - I hope :) Linkage: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=636312 :) ps I have a Dynamo - so no clearence issues there - its the rear body work that effects the height of the manifolds :) Title: Re: Type 3 manifolds.....

Going in a different direction with a body. Woody meets roadster, with a bit of volksrod thrown in. (http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Iowamark/P1000826.jpg) |
