sold :coolafro:
It looks like that hangs on the side of a 2000cc. Looks like an early model of the same one I had on my '74 way back when.
It is for the 2000, my brother had that type intake on his '71 back in ummmm....'71
Hello falconwagon62,
The problem with this manifold is that the Carb. mounting plate is missing.
Do not buy it unless they have it.
The plate mounts with 4 pan head screws and theit needs modified to accept an allen wrench as the flat head screws are hard to keep tight unless you used Loc-tite.

I wouldn't be afraid of buying it...cheap.
the carb to manifold plate is easy enough to make and the gasket if you take your time. the Bolts are available at a quality fastener supply.
My only issue with it is its for a 2.0L not my personal choice in motors.
If you need help with it or want to pawn it off on someone let me know... it would just be another project...

Hey Frank,
Not everyone is as handy as you are, a machine shop would cost more than the manifold is worth "IF" you had to have the plate made.
From Pintony
Possibley so..but it al depends on if your into resoring the old part or not...
a good vice and a drill press yuo could do wonders if you want...
Best of Luck

MUCH easier to make an adapter than a manifold.
(ask me HOW I know this.....)
