Re: riley intake
Not sure what it is. This was listed previously and only reached a bid of $127.50 and did not hit the reserve.

Re: riley intake
I disagree with the description...if it were a down draft intake wouldn't the letters be upside down.

Re: riley intake
Looks like a Scalded Dog repro dual updraft that hasn't been finish-machined.

Re: riley intake
Look at the carburetor flanges, they can be machined for 2 bolt Model A or B carbs, 3 bolt Stromberg, or 4 bolt Winfield, or Riley carbs. There are down, side and updraft of those last two. Granted, the logo would be upside down but it could easily be machined off. Charlie Yapp always uses a lower case letter i on his repro Riley stuff, I doubt the name is still copy protected, maybe he just does that out of respect.

Re: riley intake
Not sure but it could be an original for Riley updraft carburetors. The carb mounting flanges are not shown.

Re: riley intake
Not sure if I follow the discussion on how this manifold can be machined to mount carburetors. From what I see it looks like you need to fabricate adapters to the three ports ie close one and add two adapters for the carb you want to mount.
see below photo

Re: riley intake
I was referring to the manifold in 160B's post, not the eBay one.

Re: riley intake
I really don't know. I always meant to buy the George Riley book but haven't yet . For some reason I thought that George made a high performance up draft carburetor, I may be wrong .

Re: riley intake
I have to find my copy of the book, I think all his carbs were side draft. One year every car in the INDY 500 ran his carbs. Bob

Re: riley intake
There is a picture and an old ad for the Riley two port head on page 101 of those wonderful unauthorized accessories for the model A Ford book that shows the Riley two port head mounted to a model A engine with updraft manifold with a strange updraft carb. The ad says complete with carburetor $137.50 F.O.B. factory . I just assumed that the carburetor was also made by Riley but don't know for sure. It looks complicated to me . If I had a Riley two port head , I would probably want to run dual updraft B carbs .
