carburetor adapter

Post by milo9rat »

Has anybody made a 1 or 2 barrel adapter for the 1975-80 intake manifold?? I'd like to run a short downdraft old Ford carb on my 1980 "B".. Just wondering how it would run.

A lot of US based MGB owners run downdraught 32/36 Webers as an improvement to the single carbs they mostly start off with there. As a conversion it brings the performance back to something close to what UK based owners have always had from our proper twin SU setup.
