[Land-speed] Intake manifold question and request for a surplus small fuel cell

[Chris R Harris]

Hi Larry,
For a small runner manifold I'd use an old Edelbrock Torqer 289. Just had a 
quick check on ebay, there's an orange painted one there in original nick 
for $50 right in sunny SoCal. Be quick just over a day to go.
Cheers mate,
