Seconds to:

- ‘Bruce of MN’ - It would be nice to get more details! RE: Randy Gross is already making them. All new castings and parts. (Steering Boxes)
I made my first one of those about 10 years ago but only for my own use. I can't be bothered doing large numbers, especially when they would be made artificially expensive by a tariff these days.

I would LOVE a dual updraft intake manifold that can mate with Snyder's cast iron header and fit two zeniths and associated linkages.

I am not sure Charlie Yapp still makes this manifold but maybe a used one can be found.

Here is photo from Dennis Piranio's "dyno site".

Photo shows it with stock exhaust Model A manifold but Charlie Yapp would be able to tell you if it fits Snyder's header.

I have not found any information on any current production of this dual intake manifold. Best I could tell production ceased either during or before COVID. No used or new ones seem to be available.

I have scoured the internet for a suitable dual updraft or even a larger updraft manifold. I've even considered flipping a downdraft manifold upside down and somehow making a larger/two updraft carburetors work. If I was a machinist, I'd love to toy with that idea more
