Ernesto, can we get a part number on that Ford throttle body?

Paul, can we se a sketch of how the six tubes might match up to the throttle body? I'm going to start taking apart my newly acquired '88 NA core this weekend. Is the stock intake totally useless for our needs?

Thanks.

Bob

The six tubes enter a sheet metal air box or plenum chamber about four or 
five inches square. Could be a five inch tube. The Ford throttle 
body would go on the end of that facing forward. Don't forget to 
have a bell mouth on the ends of the tubes where they enter the 
plenum. Very important. Check the ACRE NL web site below for a 
bunch of intake manifold pictures.

BTW you can use six tubes on a 13B but four work as well as both ports
on the six port end housings suck at the same time.

The stock manifold is very heavy and sticks up way too far.

BTW Tracy is selling six port flanges.
