Different brands/models of dual quad manifolds have different center to center measurements.

The main thing I will recommend is getting the center to center measurement of your current manifold/carb combo and try to find something with the same measurement.  Otherwise you'll end up having to modify or fabricate a new base.

Wouldn't that be nice.

Too many variables between all the different manifold manufacturers (OE, Edelbrock, Offenhauser, Weiand...) and all the engine configurations.

Danny "wet n reckless" has one on his Daytona done in a candy blue and looks nice. A candy red one would look sweet. To bad it's an inch off 👎
