The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Edmunds manifold, Twin Stromberg 97 carbs

The O/P's manifold seems to have less than 6" clearance between the generator mount and the front carb. I don't have anything here in Florida to measure, but I don't think that's near enough for a regular Ford generator. It is probably plenty for an alternator.

"V8 Bob" - It's odd, but all of the 8BA Edmunds dual manifolds I have seen look like the picture I posted. It's why I have always referred to the Edmunds as "the ugliest manifold in existence".

I just noticed the 97's match; that's a plus as well.
