I wonder what kind of intake manifold this set up is using. These carbs sit very close to the head. Very short runners. I had longer runners on my Solex's. Anyone else notice this?

You're right. I didn't notice that at first glance. I had the typical Cannon intake on my '72 and the runners were much longer.

I think the manifold is a curved one. It appears to have an "s" curve between the carb and head. Has anyone else noticed this?

The manifold is certainly not one I've seen before.
