greetings fellow datto freaks!!!

i have played enough with the exa now(127.5kw) and need to spend some more time on the volkssan, i want to make a sidies manifold for the a-14. has anyone ever made on? is it easy? or have you got plans for it?

i want to remove the deck plate, which should take the compression to the 180psi mark fit the electronic ignition and side draughts to it and maybe a few other minnor mods.

many thanks
nicholas

They cannot be that expensive.
I phoned Carburator city in Jo'burg last week as I want to put two 40 sidedraft webers on my GX cylinder head.
They charged me R650 (South African) for a brand new manifold.
Phone them.
I also thought about letting someone make one but think it will be better to buy one that is made to correct specs.

What are you going to do with regard to electronic ignition?
