I've seen those heads also. I'm not sure what determined if the heads got the center hole for the old style manifold.

The thing that will trip you up trying to put an early intake on a later head it the center bolt hole. The later heads have 4 studs for mounting the intake manifold, outboard of each pair of intake ports. The early heads have 2 mounting studs that are between the pairs of intake ports. This is seen in the picture you have referenced.

To use an early manifold on a late head you need to drill and tap the mounting stud holes between the intake ports to mount the manifold. Also, you may need to plug the coolant passages that are in the side of the head if the Cannon manifold does not cover them.

In the past I've used the twin choke cable from an early Zed. The cable is just long enough to reach from the stock choke hole in the dash so it looks right. Of course, this was on a left drive car so your mileage may vary...

The easy thing to do is get a Toyota coil with the silver igniter module on the coil from the '80's to ?

All you have to make is a cable that connects the igniter to the pickup coil in the dizzy. I did this on the rally car many years ago. Sorting the wiring between the pickup coil in the dizzy and Toyota igniter on the coil is easy. Plug the 2 wires in. Does it fire? Yes, you are done. No, swap the 2 wires.

IIRC the Toyora coil does not use a ballast coil so the switched ignition goes directly to the + terminal of the coil.

I'll be there. Canby is only a 20 minute or so drive from my place in Portland.

I'm bringing the autocross 1200

I know where there is a single side draught A-series manifold sitting on a shelf at a machine shop. I don't know if it fits round or oval port heads though. I'll try and give them a call tomorow and post back the answer...

Where are you located?

I have an A15 engine sitting in the garage. Don't need the intake manifold (or the head either). Sticking a big valve head and dual DCOE40's on it...

Have you tried the local u-pull-it wreckers?

I was scrounging parts for moving my battery into the trunk last Sunday. There was a '79 210 in the Foster U-Pull-It in Portland. Can't remember if the cable was there though...

The 3rd screw can only be accessed by removing the carb from the manifold. It is a drilled screw as Dogman mentioned. Takes a large straight blade screwdriver to tighten.

Hey! I wanted to ask that question... now you beat me to it... along with several others!

I'm looking for a "topgear" H165 LSD also...

Cash in hand!
