DirtDiggler69 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I scored a Graydon 2-1 intake manifold and I am wondering where I can source a rubber carb connection . The o.d. Of the intake inlet is 1.5" ( 38mm ) , and the o.d. Of my carb outlet is slightly bigger at 1-5/8" . I've been searching for universal connections with almost no luck . Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places . Anyone have a suggestion ? LMK Quote

DirtDiggler69 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 Yep , just where I found one yesterday , it fits the manifold perfect . I had to gently heat it so it will fit over the slightly larger carb outlet , it should be done . I did that last night by heating the sleeve with near boiling water and a socket shoved into one end . I gradually heated it several times so It wouldn't split the boot , the outlet on the carb is a 1/8" bigger than the intake inlet O.D. so nothing really drastic . Quote
