By design that is the angle of the carburetor manifold flange to level ground. In other words, what is the tilt of the flanges?

the engine tilts back at 3°, and the carb has to be level, if that is what you meanLast edited by tbirdtbird; 10-31-2017, 10:05 AM. -
Mike V., You should be able to download an app on your smart phone. There are many to choose from. I think the one I have is Angle Pro.Comment

I guess I've never noticed an angle. I'll have to grab a manifold and check. A couple levels should show that.Comment

Be careful downloading some of those free apps such as the levels, angleometers, speedometers, etc. They often collect data from your smartphone, send it back to the developer who then sells it to others. Not only exposes you to privacy concerns, but are real drains on battery life.Comment

not sure you need an app.
If the engine is tilted 3°, then the flange is also 3°, the other way
the engine tilt is documented in the service bulletinsComment

Well, because I am a doubter, or just inquisitive, I just went out with my angle meter app on my phone and my engine is still at 3º, in spite of the FaM, and the manifold is indeed at 0º!You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!Comment

Be careful with some of the used manifolds as I have seen a couple of the Gleaner Combine intake manifolds that were at 0°. It is likely I have one or more of them in the pile. Going to sort through them next week and make sure before I offer any for sale.

Would 3 degrees REALLY make much of a difference in carb operation? That's ONLY about that l-l MUCH!.png "eek")

If the carbs were THAT touchy, HOW could you even climb a HILL?.png "tears")

When I bought my 1930 CCPU, it came with the 'A Manifold' / 'B Zenith' combo, and the manifold is not modified in any way. I've been thinking about porting/honing (what ever the right process is here?) the manifold. My truck never goes faster than 45, and almost always cruises at about 40.
So is it worth the effort to modify the manifold?

I took my manifold off a few months back to put on a cleaner looking one. I pulled the old one off the shelf over the weekend and found the problems in the attached pics.
The cracks do not go all the way through the metal. The one port is egg shaped. There is also a crack on the outside of the manifold but again it doesn't go all the way through.
It wasn't leaking exhaust...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

When explaining about a warped exhaust manifold, most think of a twisted face on the manifold.
I quickly put this together to help visualize, that a warped manifold can be hard to spot.
I marked the cylinder ports to help with my explanation.
Study each picture.
one shows the yard/metre stick covering part of cylinder #4 when I have the straight edge touching the bottom...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Trying to fit the Snyders manifold heater in my manifold and running into some issues with fit. Does not seem to sit correctly, i have the split on the firewall that is causing issues also....Anyone have any advice on this in a 29 firewall, .......????? I wondering if i have to do some grinding here to fit it better,.....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

So, while rebuilding a Tillotson, I found a bow in the manifold flange. When I put a straight-edge on it I see a slight bow of daylight. Should I attempt to file it down by hand with a flat file or take it to a machine shop? Thanks...06-24-2021, 10:22 AM -
Does this gasket fit up into the manifold?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I should have taken pics while the manifold and exhaust were still on the car but I didn't. The muffler clamp is pretty much up against the top of the oil return pipe. Anyway, I removed the manifolds and I'm wondering about the dreaded manifold droop. The pictures are of the manifolds and I'm wondering if you can tell from them if the exhaust is drooping?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Anyone ever seen a front dump exhaust manifold for a Model A engine. I have seen several exhaust manifolds used on industrial engines that go straight back. Think I have seen a front dump over the years but now can't find one.
Trying to use a standard intake manifold so think headers are out.

When installing the manifold using copper gaskets, does it make any difference where you put the smoothest side of the gasket? Example: Smooth side toward Block and seam side toward Manifold OR vice versa?
Thanks,
