ABSTRACT:
The adjustable induction manifold system of the present invention comprises a manifold plate that bolts to the engine in the same manner and place as the factory or after-market manifold being used. The open plenum is connected to the manifold plate by tube runners and hose clamps, and in certain applications with brackets as well. Two carburetor base plates are provided, one for four-barrel carburetors and one for two barrel carburetors. Each carburetor base plate has up to two block off plates to be used depending on the number of carburetors used. Each carburetor base plate attaches to the top of the plenum using eight bolts. Each tube runner is made from a high strength material that is impervious to gasoline, alcohol and methanol such as nitrile tubing. The tube runner also has an internally bonded helical coil so that the tubing is rigid and non-collapsible. Thermostat housing and water plates also attach to the manifold and radiator with rubber hoses and clamps for the purpose of cooling the engine.
