    Cool..

    It is a WCFB manifold with an AFB adapter.

    If you are going to take the manifold off, a good machine shop can indexed the holes to the proper AFB size and you can rid yourself of that adapter..

      Nooooo.....

      As noted it's just a different type manifold vs. spacer/carburetor.

      To work properly, the manifold should be match ported to the adapter for the best air/fuel transition into the manifold.

        I'll probably stash the manifold away and put a 2bbl setup on it for now. Then if I come across a WCFB carb and air cleaner I will think about putting it back on
