Tony:
If I am reading the article correctly, the gas flow imbalance
was with
1. The older style manifold
2. 1-1/2" Zeniths
If you are running the late head, you will be running the better
flowing late manifold and 1-3/4" Zeniths. So I would expect this to be a
non-issue for you. I believe he commented in the article that with the
newer manifold the issue pretty much went away.

Subject: [6pack] Inlet Manifold Question
<snip>
In a recent exchange with Ibsen Dow on this question, as I was sending
him
some information from Chris Witor, I noticed that he (Chris, not Ibsen)
had
made reference to the fact that he has gas flowed all the big 6 heads
(and I
have his table of head characteristics ... but alas, it lacks the flow
rates),
but what is interesting is the fact that he has determined that cyls. 2
and 5
are underfed with the standard 2 Stromberg manifold ... have a look at
the
tables in his analysis (this was on the sixappeal website ... but its
gone
from there, so I've echoe'd it ...
http://www.2simpleusa.com/triumphlist/Witor.mht).
Any idea what Chris did to rework the inlet manifold to balance the gas
flow?
Kastner is NFG since he dealt with PI or webers only, and William's
doesn't
reference any fine tuning of the standard 2xCDS manifold in his Tuning
TR250
and TR6 book ...
