Post by: brians89stang on April 13, 2010, 06:33:28 AM

I assume you are talking about a 4bbl?  I am sure it would but I think it really depends on your linkage setup?  I have a Wiend 2.0L 4bbl manifold that has the carb mounted differently than others that I have seen but it works just fine because the linkage that came with the manifold was setup specially for the Pinto.  Just bolt in and go.

If its the offy dual-port intake the carb is sideways because that is how the primary and secondary runners line up.
