fitting single 40mm kadron on 1600 dualport stock manifold.

[garthom]

I have a new 40mm kadron carb I traded for & would like to fit it to a stock 1600 dualport manifold. Has anybody ever done this ? What about clearance to alternator? If so any pics? Would it fit under rear of manx type buggy? Thanks, Gary

I thought that it needed a dual port manifold that is set up for that carbs "footprint". You should be able to find one fairly easy to bolt right up and make it fit properly.

I think EMPI makes the manifold you need. Joel Moore in Hesperia, CA was the main man developing that setup as I recall. He said it was a little challenging to tune but once you get it, it runns really good.
