Felix Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 i got these carbs yesterday, and am quite curious about them. they are mikuni/solex carbs. as near as i can tell they are from a '74 RT104 GT with an 18RG. not sure if 40 or 44mm yet, have to pull them off yet. the manifold is interesting as it is modified. the guy i got them off thought it was to suit a 2L escort, but i'm not so sure. i have trawled through a few gasket books and it looks as though the manifold is for a 2T. can anyone verify? are 2T and 2TG inlet manifold gaskets different?

Felix Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Posted February 7, 2005 the manifold is a bit bizare. looks as though it was welded then had a heap of epoxy added for strengthening or something. Quote
Felix Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Posted February 7, 2005 thinking of maybe procuring a twin sidedraft manifold for a K series and trialling them on my car at a later date. that is providing that the mikunis share the same base pattern as webers. Quote
irokin Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 yes 2T and 2T-G manifold gaskets are different. I'll go get a snap of my 2T manifold face when I get a chance. Quote
NickZ Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 From what i can see, its not a 2t-g this it the manifold i just took off mine. Good luck finding what it came off. Quote
irokin Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 2Ts are similar to that however there is only 1 water gallery going into the center. I also feel the bolts are on less of an angle. Quote
irokin Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 heres a shitty camera phone picture for you to marvel over. I'll get the good camera out later if you need something better Quote
Felix Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Posted February 7, 2005 :D looks very much like mine. 2ts and 2tgs are quite different. Quote
Felix Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Posted February 7, 2005 maybe i should just stuff a 2t into my ke10 or something. :D Quote
irokin Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 lol is it really worth it?? do you want a blown 2T block and good head? Quote
Felix Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Posted February 8, 2005 why not? a healthy NA 2/3t should go well in a light ke10. i can see heaps of further potential. what do you want for your 2t? what is wrong with the bottom end? hmm, i need space. Quote
