Re: [Amc-list] tbi adapter for 196

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think he's using the GM two-barrel throttle body like from an Iron Duke.  I just sent him the manifold plate, so he doesn't know about clearance issues with the valve cover.  From the pictures he sent me, it looked "close" but I had planned to buy the prototype from him.   I'll email him later today when I can get home and measure the Rambler.
