Single Carb Manifold

I am looking for a single carb manifold, I believe they were only used on California cars. I am working on a little project to install a supercharger. If I can get a manifold and everything works, I'll post an article about it.
If anyone has one they want to get rid of, please let me know.
Thanks,
Bill

Hey, Bill,
First, I don't think you will get enough air flow through that single carb manifold.
Second, Try to find a copy of "British Car" magazine, #70, Dec. 1997 - Jan 1998. There s an article about a doctor that adapted a super charger to a TR6. If you can find it, you will see that it was probably the prototype for the Moss supercharger.
There are photos of the adaptor manifold that was bolted to the original stock manifold and how the whole thing was set-up.
If you can't find it let be know and I will scan the article for you.
Have fun, drive fast & safe, be kewl,

You can get a new one from VB for under a hundred bucks still.

Cool, thanks.I'll have to see if I can find that article. I printed one off from
www.topshamautoparts.com/tr6/schrgr2.htm about a supercharged TR 6 (I wonder if it's the same article???)
I figured with our low compression, anemic 2 liters, a supercharger would work nicely....[:p]

Hey All, Janspeed is the kit maker that your talking about for the turbo.[:p] Don`t know if they are still around now or not.[?] The kit was not real well done from the pic. I have seen.[:(](in a book about turbos) It was done years ago on a carb car.[8](me thinks a single carb) I don`t know if the kit is even still around in some form or fashen.[:(!] I`ll have to look it up.[8)] Robbie in wyoming
