I will let you know how it works.

Veeeight Did you have any problems fitting the intake to your engine? Do you still have the fitting kit(thermostat housing, throttle cable mounting hardware)?

Yes I Had A Few Problems As The Threads Cut In The Manifold Were In Some Daft American Thread So Had To Wait Till RPI Sent Me The Right Bolts And Then I Had To Fabricate The Choke Linkage And Throttle Linkage To Suit The Ex-EFI Set Up. :(bloodshot):
No I Havent Got Anything Left, I Sold It All As A Set On Ebay To Some Chap Building A Road Going KIt Car (Ideal Use For The Carb). :roll:
I Lost Alot Though, Cost Me 1k Sold It 4 Months Later For £400. :(bigshock):
Live And Learn. :(stoopid):

What threads?  The ones for the carbonator or the ones for the thermostat housing?

veeeight:
Yer The Ones For The Thermostat Housing Which They Didnt Send Me Either. :(bloodshot):
Apart From All That The Manifold And Carb Went On With No Other Problems, Just Had To Modifying The Heater Pipes, Involving Drilling A Hole In The Blanked Off Small Water Outlet In The Back Of The Water Pump To Join A Water Feed To The Manifold As The EFI Manifold Was Not Water Heated.
Of Course Once It Was All Fitted And Running I Had To Come Up With A Way Of Connecting A Snorkel To It, I Found That The Rubber Air Intake Elbow Off A Ford EFI System (such as the sierra or granada 2.8i) Fits Over The Inlet Whole Just Right. \:D/
All Do-Able Stuff But Just A Bit Time Consuming And Needs Thinking About A Bit. :roll:
