Default Weber inlet manifold wanted

I'm after an inlet manifold to fit a 32/36 twin choke weber onto a B20 head. I know you can get them new from webcon but thought I'd try on here first as we all like a bargain!!

I can be contacted on 07968 482267

Thanks

Paul

Why? It is a horrible carb and never runs quite right in the Volvo application as the jetting is off. IMHO youre better off spending the money on getting a pair of SUs sorted or even run a single HIF on a Stromberg manifold.

Thanks for your reply and I'm sure you're right, but I dont plan on running a weber on it, I just need the weber fitting/stud placement to make life easier.

Hi Paul. I have one. It is superfluous to my requirements, as they say...
Let me know your email address and I can send you some photos of it. I am in Ireland, so there is shipping to consider too. Let me know.
Hugh.

Fair enough, sounds like you have a plan.

Nice guess derek but alas not right. I'm not a fan of fuel injection it seems every modern car I have with it suffer the same problems-woolly throttle response, missing at half throttle (usually egr valve) and not that great fuel consumption. I know there is good reason for this with emmissions etc but its not for me.
