RE: [T3] Engine Rebuild Options


Not exactly sure if they were made for the 32 PDSIT carbs, but somehow I ended up bying a pair of dual port manifolds for dual singles off ebay that are very short, but i ended up with 36 dells on my fasty, so I dont really need these manifolds. They are in decent shape (havent really taken a look at them recently, but they are sitting in the bottom drawer of my tool box)and they have what I would assume are ports for a balance tube.
