Single Carb Conversion: Adapt the stock plenum

I think converting to a manual choke is very doable.

There is already three screw holes at the choke location where the electric choke was,

Or maybe remove the electric section but leave the back half of the elec. choke, or the Mechanical half of the choke,

at any rate it looks do-able.

pretty sure dude got it done on the other site

I've been thinking about this too lately, not sure why. It's not like it's easier done than using the vw plenum. More a curiosity than anything.

my outcome was ok but i never tried it ...way to much work to do it really ...way to much offset for me in carb placement ....so i just drop it as i had other things going that were above this project ....truth is almost any manifold that seals will work ..problems have always been in the carbs themselves as miss matching the oldwing motor from the get go ...

all this blab about heat and manifold design is just worthless off track blabber ...that side track people from the real problem the carbs that are available for oldwing to use ......
