Overview
Comparo: DGV vs Hitachi 306
You can make a DGV-compatible intake:
But most of us use an adapter plate:
Adapters for many models are available for sale, but I made my own adapter for the Nissan A12 engine out of a block of aluminum:
Custom machined adapter (left) and kit-provided cast adapter
Be sure to use the Weber-type (thick) gasket under the carburetor. If you use a thin gasket it may tear during operation.

Weber bolt-pattern: 93x46mm | A-series manifold: 61x37mm
- Dimensions: 1 x 2.75 x 5 inches (minimum would be approximately 10 x 6.7 x 11.4 mm)
- Using a Nissan gasket as a template on one side, and the Weber gasket on the other, mark the holes.
- Drill two bores ~30mm and 27mm to match the intake manifold. You might have a machine shop do this; I had access to a lathe with a large bit chuck into it.
- Drill and Countersink holes for stock Nissan pattern using a drill press to get them straight.
- Thread holes for Weber pattern
- Use a round rasp file to smooth out the transition from the small Nissan bore holes to the larger Weber holes you drew from the template
