I'm pretty sure the Yeah, the newer aluminum intake is water heated/cooled (as well as an electric heater right under the carb), so it has a water jacket, with hose nipples. Dissimilar metals corrosion, some seem to go worse than others. It's a really nice manifold, with matching exhaust. EGR is on the intake, but it's really easy to block off (mine's going on a '70). THe intake has a lot of pipe-threaded holes for water and vacuum, it weighs almost nothing, has big runners (mixed bag for me), Carter BBD/Weber base pattern. I'm putting a Carter YF on it (I can hear the groans from here) with a Weber Redline adapter. The adapter is $37; a BBD from nationalcarbureters.com is $160 (I have no core, the junkers I bought from eBay and the local yard were unrebuildable). I have like-new YFs. Carb upgrade will be a nice easy project when the car is running. > From: Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx> > The water hose nipples on the 82 aluminum manifold I have > were all rotted and need replacing.
