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.

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 -
On the original Zephyr Dual Downdraft Intake Manifold there is no provision (no lug) for mounting the throttle arm. How is the throttle arm mounted and how is the linkage arranged?

When I was pulling a carburetor the other day It came to my attention that the rearmost ear was broken off (where the carb bolts to the intake). The exhaust manifold, likely original, was not in very good shape either. Seemed best to replace both. I ordered the parts from Snyder’s and they were a plug and play right out of the box. No machining necessary.
Some observations.

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, 11:22 AM -
When the engine was rebuilt in my car, the previous owner had the builder use a B camshaft along with a B manifold. Carb used was a Tillotson. Now that I've installed the carb adapter bolts to get the carb oriented properly on the B manifold, the GAV, choke, and throttle linkage finally work like they should.
My "issue" is... the B manifold is just ugly to me with the flat...09-01-2022, 03:55 PM -
Purchased a new exhaust manifold from Snyder's to replace the waffle manifold on our '29 Coupe. Got the stock intake manifold bead blasted and crossed my fingers the 2 manifolds were compatible. The piece of paper slides evenly (with slight resistance) under all of the ports. They are sitting on our new granite kitchen counter which is perfectly flat. The engine block mating surface is also even across....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

The other day a spent working a list of things on Hugh’s coupe , one item was an exhaust leak after fixing the joint where the muffler meets the manifold we found a leak at the number one exhaust right at the front was a blown gasket. So I read up on gaskets and gland rings. Lots of different schools of thought, almost like asking what oil to use. Lol. my question is who supplies the BEST quality...04-14-2022, 09:36 PM
