Hi Tom I just saw a pair at a swap meet in Sacramento, CA. Guy wanted $150.00, same as I paid for mine. Jim

Hi Ted The air cleaners had no elements when I got them; however' I got an email from some fellow that told me that K & N filters can be fitted. I have not looked into that yet, as I may not use those items. I'm thinking of using some 1936 Ford air cleaners just to keep the early look. The fun never ends Jim

Kahuna. Do your air cleaners still have the ‘horse hair’ filaments or have they been upgraded internally with some kind of paper elements or material of newer design?

Again, sorry for the delayed response. Been out of town for my Mom's 98th B-day. I paid $450.00 to have the manifold made. To me, worth every penny Jim

Hi Wayne, sorry for the delayed response. There are no adapters on the manifold. The carbs mount directly. The manifold was made to my specs by a fellow on the West Coast. It is a single plane design, with the carbs set directly over the ports. So far it seems to run great. I won't have it on the road 'till next year. That'll be the real test. Jim

You guys have been very helpful to my project and because it now runs (and runs well), I thought I'd post a couple of pics of the carbs and engine. I know it's not a Y Block, but it has Y Block carbs and the engine runs great. I really like those Teapots. Thanks again for the carb help with the jetting, etc. I really appreciate it Regards Jim
