custom inlet manifold
Rewrite on my earlier post.Does anyone know of a fabricator who can manufacture a pinto inlet manifold for twin dcoe webers.I am trying to level out
my carburettors on an inclined engine install

Are you sure thats your problem? Sure I have seen webers mounted at some odd angles before. Not miles off horizontal, but definately not
straight...
Does it make that much difference? If so its somethign to bear in mind when i get to that stage on mine...

I would have thought float chambers would have to be horizontal ...umm vertical ...ummm level..... you know what I mean.

If you can draw it, I can make it!
Its not my usual line of business but can get laser cutting done and tig is no problem.

If you really want one fabricated then try Bogg Bros www.boggbos.co.uk

I'm no expert on those carbs, but it has to be said again that if that was the problem , then every car or bike with carbs would have problems
on long steep slopes, no?

Unless the engine is canted forward at a silly angle I very doubt that the carb angle is the cause of your problems, and if it is you may be having
further problems with oil feed!
Why not put up a picture of the installation so we can get an idea of how bad the angle is?

Can the std weber manifold be altered? My manifold man will be able to do it if that is what you really need. Search for Deneo.
Have you had the car running to confirm all is not well?
Pics would be useful. Ive fitted Pinto nice and vertical with no problems at all. However my chassis is developed for such application, i know a std
locost would struggle with height, is this why it is angled over?

Does it lean over or is it tilted front to back? Unless the angle is ridiculous neither should present a problem. Could you get some adaptors made to
fit between the carbs and your present manifold like the misab washers but thicker? Which manifold do you have at present, the short one or the longer
standard one?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

That's why all the main circuit jets are collected together in a small space in the middle of the float chamber - to give least susceptibility
to raod angle, installation angle and acceleration/braking /cornering forces.
You will also find that the float has ovreall half the density of petrol so it still works right when it's on the tilt.

engine is vertical n/s to o/s but is angled upwards front to back,that is the front of the engine is higher than the rear,this is due to steering
column,headers and chassis tubes clearance issues.As Darren asks yes I think the manifold could be adapted by welding ali tubes at appropriate angles
to the manifold mounting plates.Until I can photograph, picture the car jacked up to 13" chassis clearance at rear,at this point the cam cover
is horizontal.
