Manifold

Post by les »

I’m interested to know what cast iron manifold 12g 1514 was originally fitted to, can anyone tell me please?

So far I have been unable to identify the manifold but it does not appear in the book 'Anatomy of the classic Mini' so presumably not Mini.
It does not appear in the Morris Marina parts list for either 1098cc or 1275cc engines so again presumably not Marina.

Here is another clue - listed as Mini ?

The head (12A1456) in this listing was fitted to the 848cc & 998cc Mini.

I saw one which was on sale alongside a Sprite Mk1 head. Might they be connected?

The Sprite Mk 1 had the same head as the 948cc Minor and twin 1 1/18" SU carbs on a separate inlet manifold & not a inlet/exhaust manifold with fitments for a single 1 1/4" SU carb.

Thanks for reply, I bought this item simply because it had a pcv valve atttached.
