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, 11:05 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. RodMuch of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.Comment

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?
Normally I don't make any significant...04-14-2018, 12:00 AM -
Trying to fit the Snyders manifold heater in my manifold and running into some issues with fit.

Anybody try one of the high-tech manifold coatings? If so, what has been your experience. Not talking here about fizz can paint jobs with barbecue paint, just the specialty shops, like Jet Coat, Cerama-Kote, etc.

Does anyone recognise this brand ?
Had RAR LA2519 on it.
Was at last weekend's swap.

I have been working on a May 1931 Roadster for 7-8 months now putting it in running and stopping condition. Many of it's parts are original. I had an exhaust leak. The exhaust manifold is the manifold introduced in March 1931 and found on page 5-1 of the RG & JS, 2016 revision (copy attached). I removed the exhaust manifold, put a machinist's straight edge (good to four places beyond the decimal...04-25-2019, 03:00 PM -
Good afternoon everyone,
My early 1928 Model Tudor Sedan now requires a replacement exhaust manifold. Has anyone any experience of where to buy, any known problems, things to watch out for. Thanks in advance. Tony03-13-2019, 10:19 AM -
It was a beautiful day in eastern CT today. (Mr Rogers would have been very happy). I drove all 8 cars, and 4 motorcycles and the tractor, for a spring excercize and gas up. But the part that may interest this crowd is how the tudor ran with the intake manifold bored out. I was very surprised at how much more power it has and how much better it runs with the intake bored to match the B carb that has...04-28-2018, 04:51 PM -
I took the intake manifold off and found these inserts. 2 7/8" long, 1" i.d., 1 1/2" o.d. One is swaged in and the other is loose. The taper is on the carburetor side. What was the previous owner up to? He's passed on, so I can't ask him. He had a Stromberg 94 carb that I switched out for a Weber. Should I run it as found? It runs fine. Thoughts and/or suggestions will be ...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Because of the bad weather and Best's Gaskets haven't arrived yet, I needed something to do. I always have a project or two that I can switch to when needed. I had started P&P a couple of manifolds. They were bored out (The easy part). Now they needed polishing, this is the tedious part. Hours of going roundy, round, inside the runners till it's shiny and smoothe all around. Later on, I was going...02-23-2018, 10:01 PM
