What manifold 1.8 tc

Post by morris_carl » Sun Nov 19, 2017 2:17 pm

Hi everyone, I've been trying to find a tc exhaust manifold with no luck, I found that the mgb one fits, obviously without the carb warming part, but what one fits as there seems to be a early one and a late one and can't tell the difference between the two!
Thanks

I believe that it is to do with the thickness of the mounting flange to the cylinder head, there are two thicknesses and they need to be matched to the same thickness of the inlet manifold as they share the mounting studs in the head. I used MGB inlet and exhaust with a thin exhaust manifold and thick inlet manifold, I then had to modify the inlet manifold flange, with a hacksaw.

I have a down pipe from an early TC if it's any good to you later.
