I have an Offenhauser 1078 4bbl manifold but it's at the engine builder and I can't measure it. I have read about every thread/post about these manifolds and carb. options but saw no specifications. I have considered another Offenhauser 1078 for another flathead that I have and was curious how the WCFB throttle bore and the 1078 compared. I have a perspective source for early Carters used on early '50s Buicks and Olds.
Happy Holidays,
Howard

Can't help with your question,but if you have too many carbs let me know.

Texas Webb, I've contacted the source and haven't heard back yet. I don't know if he's into the "rebuild and sell" business but if he has the cores, and wants the business, I'll let you know.

A quote from an Offy. 1078 seller.

"The Offy single 4-barrel intake is drilled for the early ’50s small Carter WCFB carb-mounting pattern, so an adapter is mandatory with a Holley carb, even if you don’t have other linkage- or choke-clearance issues."

Texas webb, are you looking for a WCFB or an AFB?
