Re: [AMC-list] Ebay intake/exhaust

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

To elaborate, the flange on the exhaust manifold that bolts to the intake would get in the way. So you have to use the exhaust manifold that goes with the intake or a header.

won't work.  '64-'79 intakes bolt to the exhaust and use a heat riser
to help vaporize the mixture; '80s intakes are separate.  that's why
the water passage and the electric heater underneath the carb.

you could use a late-'70s 2bbl intake with your exhaust, but you need
both the '80s intake and exhaust together.
