I was wondering this myself just before...
How come I see rebuild kits with manifold gaskets that are advertized to fit 28-34 pict's? I'm guessing 28 and 30's have the same manifold footprint, but anything above wont fit at all?
I was going to buy some single port dual manifolds made for 28pci's and buy some of those WW 32pbic's from the okrasa kit for them instead..... I'm guessing I cant do that then right?

They put two gaskets in the kit, one for each size.

the studs on the PBIC's are something like 6mm further apart than the 28PCI. |

hmm, 6mm kinda seems like you could widen a few holes and get it to fit though without too much heartache though right?
Sorry to hijack the thread, but what is the difference between pci's and pict's? Could I assume that a 28pict-1 or -2 to be essentially the same as a 28 pci, except with an automatic choke?
Cheers

You can, the manifold in my '55 had slotted holes when I got it - it had a later/wider carb. I was skeptical it sealed very well though. It was running super rich.
I have not replaced the manifold but I did install a 28PCI.
It runs a lot better now.

i figured i had better check my info.
a 28PCI 53mm cl to cl
a 32 PCI 58mm
a french made F32PBICA is 60 mm. sorry no idea on the german ones or the repro's.
another difference is a PICT has a fixed venturi where the PCI and PBIC's have removable ones. |

Thanks for all the important input!
Thats kinda thrown a spanner in the works for me. I'm guessing removable ventris are an important part of tuning carbs to certain non factory dual setups right? I wish pci's weren't so damn expensive, paying $600+ on 2 rebuilt 28's kinda makes me feel like I should just buy a 1776 with IDA's and call it a day!
