Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Thanks I knew one would pop up after purchasing a Huffaker clone from John Eales in UK. I guess they should be in a museum! d:}

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Hi David,
I have a Huffaker 4-bbl intake with AN fittings for the coolant passages and Holley 500 cfm carb that I'd be happy to sell if you're still interested. It's in excellent condition. I'm the original owner - drove up to Petaluma and bought the manifold from Joe in 1983. Used it on my TR8 back in the day. Removed it and put the stock intake back on so that the TR8 could pass the smog check when I sold it, but I kept the Huffaker intake and it has been sitting on a shelf in my garage for the last 20 years. |

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Wow Art was right there is now a flood gate of huffaker manifolds availible! PM a price to me Bill, it might be a good future investment... I have purchased a "Huffacker clone" manifold from John Eales UK. It looks identical but is almost an inch shorter. This may be to my advantage in my MGB conversion and intake velocitys differences will be worth the trade off.
Thanks dave bash |

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Jim
I have already purchase a Huffacker clone from John Eals? UK. It appears the same as Huffacker but maybe 1/2" shorter? Funny now two have shown up since I went ahead and bought mine........ My moped is a 1960? SP50 SPR I believe. Pretty nice when I got it. Have shined it up even more. We had to order a brass float from France! My son n law's xmas gift............ Trying to find someone in St.Louis that will fix a couple of dings in the tank without having to cut, weld, rechrome and paint! One paintless dent remover place said the metal was too thick. I ran into a guy the other day that claims he has fixed many motorcycle tanks with paintless, dent removal. Have you seen rod modification on photo to squirt oil on bottom pistons? See that photo Any idea how to get the paint code for "andes green' ppg on the xp 50? British Heritage said they don't have the info one more thing any idea where I can get a set of tri y headers like photo in US. Guy from Australia wants $2k! dave bash |

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Man I hate it when someone tells me I can't do something. I'm sure someone in St.Louis will be willing to make these. Anyone else interested?
Question top image has cylinder 1&5-3&7 config then bottom image other side of motor is 2&4-6&8 config. Any idea why that would be 18436572 firing order right? |

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Didn't say you couldn't have some fabbed. You just can't pick up the phone & order a set from a stateside supplier.

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
Dave are you in St Louis?
What does a Huffaker Manifold look like? I started making a downdraft manifold for the Pantera. I really did the welding assembly in the wrong order to make it look nice. I was ready to do it again but ended up going another direction. I had a manafold for another engine (different head spacing) which worked fine when cut in half. Every get near Evansville? Do you weld? This was my easy way out. I got one Webebr powder coated and am waiting the rebuild kits to do the rest: |

Re: wanted huffaker manifold
On those tri-Y headers, the difference from side to side is because of the firing order. I made up a similar set to feed the Jetfire turbo, only they were 8-4-1.
I'll see if I can get a shot of my Motobecane tomorrow. It doesn't look anywhere near as nice as yours David. No chrome, and I think the tank is integrated into the frame. Jim |
