2 4g32 carby questions !!

[Splatmarker]

1. Has anybody tried to fit two 32/36 downdraught webers on a twin downdraught 4g32 chain Drive manifold ?

2. Can you get a lynx style crossover single sidedraught inlet manifold for a 4g32 chain drive?

Not yet, but I plan to over this summer. No reason it should be difficult - just need 2 adaptor plates & fabricate some linkages. (I have a set of the stock twin Solex downdraft carbs I plan to cannibalize the linkages from.)

I'm not sure whether it will be a better setup in terms of power/response than the single 32/36 I have on there now, or a single 34ADM or something ..... only way to find out will be to do it & then stick it on the dyno.

I got the carbies and adaptor plates and can get the manifold, I wonder if it would be better than a single sidedraught ? hmm

My guess would be probably yes ..... certainly much more drivable on the street. Sidedraught Weber-type carbs are a PITA on a road car, and singles more so than twins. Progressive downdraught carbs are far easier to live with.

would have to say correctly set up they are fine, drove my lancer with 45's for years no issues, (and 2 x GB's with 45's before that, but you have to jet and choke correctly!!!!!) they are far superior to the twin solex down drafts on modified engines, a single sidedraft just looks lonely not worth the hassles and cost on stock engines (twin sidedrafts) go the downdrafts.
