On the manifold mounting flange at the rear end,  what is the slotted area
for?  Also you didn't answer my question previously that being, what

happens

to the disused side ports, are they just covered up by the mounting flange
or do you propose to fill them?

Tony Beaton

I don't follow you. There is no mounting flange.
First I assume you are talking about the P-port engine.
all disused side ports are filled with high temp epoxy. JP Weld can be

used

if you first heat the containers in boiling water to thin it out and then

mix it.

If it is the slot in the slide throttle then that is to accommodate the
throttle clevis that connects with the push pull rod going to the

instrument

panel. Here are a few pics & 3D illustrations that hopefully will clear

things

up.

Thanks, a bit clearer now.  I take it that the square gray thing in front of
the injector group would be an air filter box or plenum with a scoop on top?

Tony Beaton

Correct. There is recent evidence from Dave Leonard that it is absolutely essential
to contain the inevitable standing wave fuel mist.
