Good evening, trying to finish the restore on my 73 nantique. is the 351 w electrodyne motor has a angle intake manifold riser is in pretty ruff shape ear broke off one corner. wondering if anyone knows where to get replacement and the special gaskets that go to it have carb rebuilt sitting waiting to find the other parts. Has anyone changed out theres to another set up? want to get boat in water but trying to be patient and do it right. Any help on this id be greatful

If you don't find an original intake, you can get a carburetor "wedge plate". Choose a replacement intake for your engine and you can add the "wedge plate" to the top of the new intake. Standard gaskets fit. Both Summit and/or Jegs will have what you are looking for. What color was the Electrodyne Engine and how much angle is on the carb base? Any pictures?
Good Luck; Steve |

it is black plastic of some sort goes from 3/8in to about 1in is longer in the back where the valve cover vent tube goes in so standard gaskets will not fit will send photo tonight when off work.

Do you mean Thermo-Electron ?
If you get the aluminum wedge from summit, you'll need to plumb the PCV into the intake. |
