wayno Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 If it were only that easy to buy a manifold. They make several Weber adapters you can buy. I liked this adapter the best, it raised the carb up a little and seals easier. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I thought so. Thanks for verifying. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunrides Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Question, since the J13 intake and exhaust manifold are joined, how did you seal up the exhaust, or did you also use a MGB exhaust manifold? 1 Quote Link to comment

Called redline who told me to get kit from triangle auto. Total wreck. It was a mess. Haven't started yet, but they say the adapter plate works, it looks good. Only problem looks to be throttle cable. Did you have any trouble with that? 1 Quote Link to comment

You should be able to use the finned divider that seals the intake from the exhaust and bolt it to the exhaust with shorter bolts. This is it sealing the intake but it should work on the exhaust just as well... 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunrides Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 That does not look like a J intake, maybe an A14? I know my J intake was a solid casting with the exhaust open to the intake. There was no plate. 1 Quote Link to comment
