Paul,

As long as you've switched to requesting templates to determine
manifold dimensions, isn't that basically the same thing as
comparing intake manifold gaskets? Wouldn't that basically be
another easy way to gather this information? Go over to Mazdatrix
and lay 'em out on the counter?

Just a thought.

Certainly good info and would identify gross changes but I would 
not want to machine the flanges based on that info. The four port 
I have shows considerable gasket mis-alignment. Historically gaskets 
have not been accurate for some strange reason.

BTW don't mark anything on the plastic template other than the mounting
holes and the ports. Manifolds I have seen so far have a zillion other
holes of all sizes for God knows what.

You can ship the manifolds if you don't want to bother making the
plastic templates and I will ship them back after I measure them.
