Can I say "Cute" without being unfriendly?

There is plenty of room there for the PCV to be tapped in. . . Do it for your kids!

No, keep it originalish, there aren't enough of these left. . . I say originalish as LYNX were aftermarket, although still of the era.

hmm, yes your right, ill get a pic of mine up later today

Quote:This is quite normal as carbs were frequently sourced from two examples of the same model of donor car that would have had a single carb.
Mini's, Morris Minors & other BMC cars were popular donors & there were a few who were lucky enough, or rich enough, to get the whole setup from a Sprite, MG Midget, or more likely one of the Cooper S Minis. See, these cars were good for something after all.

Those who bought two separate carbs ended up with a setup like this, while the rich kids got the matched pair of opposite sided carbs. My set is like this & it seems that i will need to post a pic. of it.

If the price on the manifold is the price paid, then it was a good buy.

Datsun 1000 collector you seem to be getting a good selection of 1000 engine performance parts ,I hope to see this put to good use some time soon.

Hopped up 1000 engines are conspicuous by their absence on this site.

The 1000 coupe engine is the better base to start from if for no other reason than the fact that they had half a point more compression, at 9 to 1, than the others with their feeble 8.5 to 1.
The stock 1000 cam had marginally better specs than the 1200 cam too. I think it had a whisker more lift.

Maybee i should have bought the balanced crank, rods, & pistons when they became available at a very reasonable price recently. Oh well,.. too late now.

nothin a can of export silver from Supercheap wouldnt fix!!!

Interesting. Looks a lot like the LYNX M137 listed on this site: http://www.carburetion.com/LynxManifolds.asp. Feral Errol sent me this pic of the M137:
Looks the same to me. I wasn't sure it was right because it's marked D1000 but now I know why!

Oops on second thought these aren't quite the same. Yours has the vertical bolt pattern typically found on the HS2 SU carbs (1.25" bore), where as this one has the 4 bolts that will allow you to bolt up the diagonal HS4 type carbs (1.5"). This must be a different manifold. Then again, I have seen some 1.5" SU carbs with the vertical bolt pattern but those were all H4 carbs, not HS4. Could you check the bore on the carbs and on the manifold? I'm interested in seeing what you've got. THanks

Have a look at the other D 1000 photos. The carb mounting face is drilled with six holes & these will mount the four hole, square flange type, the vertical flange type [as shown] as well as the diagonally flanged types.
I tried one of my 1200 GX carbs on my manifold last night & it fitted just fine.

I suspect that the M137 manifold has the same drillings.

No. oval ports in those days !!!!!!
