i have just bought a webber twin choke carb off ebay. it came with an inlet manifold but a broken exhaust manifold. the inlet dosent match upto my exhaust manifold, it leaves a big gap and as theres a big square hole in the top of the exhast manifold it would leak like hell. the new carb also has a different throttle arrangement, its on the opposite side. any ideas what i should do. i dont see why there is an opening between the inlet and exhaust anyway, sumat to do with heating the inlet maybe.

sorry if ive gone on a bit, but this is the only thing left to do to get my landy on the road. its a 72 2 1/2 petrol btw. cheers all
 
er,right ......... the top of the exhaust ( mine ayway , a 2.25 petrol ) has a square hole, yes for pre heating the inlet manifold, thers a copper or composit gasket to go between,

id try and get a matching set , i have the webber me self , sits on an oval plastic like spacer between carb and inlet ,

my old manifold has a 2 stud carb, the new one has 4 studs. im going to try and find a new exhaust manifold and bolt them together properly. are the 4 stud manifolds off a later series 3? mines a 1972.
