Well ... I pulled that spare OE intake manifold off the shelf and found that the part number comes back as 36-37 for the 216, so I can't use it.
After some additional research, I'm leaning towards the Clifford 6=8 manifold, and the weber DGV progressive 2 barrel carb. This is primarily because it seems that combination would be less problematic than the Offenhauser 3 X 1 barrel setup.
At one time I owned a 1960 Mercedes Benz 190SL. The four cylinder 1.9 liter motor was equipped with two Solex PHH 44 two barrel carbs. They were a challenge to keep in tune and balanced. While this was primarily because the car was not driven regularly, the result is that I would like to avoid recreating that situation in this truck.
If anyone has experience using the Clifford 6=8 manifold, or you have knowledge of someone using that manifold, your insights would be appreciated.
