Joe,
If you were going to run 32NDIX carbs what manifolds would you use? Is there a benefit to the zenith carbs over the Solex PCIB's?

I think the only intake manifolds made to fit Okrasa heads are the ones made by Stefi G. Appear to be well
made and if I were to go with Zeniths, these would be the intakes that I would purchase.
While I've personally never run the Zeniths on any of my engine builds, I cannot give you my honest opinion.
I would think that with the small 32mm bores in the Zeniths, the provide excellent low end torque and will flow
more than the single bore Solex 32's.
