I have since quite some time a kit on the shelf (48 IDA), and it will take quite some more time before I get to install it. Probably until the point I go for a complete engine overhaul, so I can get all related tech aspecs as I really want them.
The Hall manifold is OK, but could be made better. Carbs and channels do mismatch a bit - not badly or such, but could be better - and needed some machining to make sure all bolts would fit. An aspect to reckon with is that Hall only sells the manifold - you'll have to sort out the linkage yourself. No prob you'd think, as linkage systems are offered all over, but as I found out, those often offered and currently in use by many, will work, but not make all butterflies work synchronous - and that does not only apply to the Hall manifold. For that matter I did cut off the pedestal, had a new one made, and will have it reweld where it should.
