Is this the correct manifold for my Vitesse MK2

[Paul H]

The marking is Stanpart 308671    & V3153 

 

Ive been told its incorrect - if so what should I be looking for - Do I need to change - my vitesse is not concours and never likely to be 

 

Pics attached

 

Any info appreciated 

 

Regards

Don't know the answer to your question, but I do know those are the shiniest Strombergs I've seen for a long time!

Looks correct to me. For a mk2 vitesse....

Maybe the banjo bolt at the rear? not really clear from the pic, but I would not want to try to undo it....

Agree its a std mk2 stromberg manifold , what makes you feel its incorrect

What ever was said is very misguided

Hello Paul.

 

The 2x attached pics should put your mind at rest as I have a Mk2 Vitesse.

Great, Picture tells a lot of words ,

 

wilst there is some evolution of upright engine manifolds the changes between vit and GT6 and T2000

this manifold is prettty unchanged across the range , Mk1 and 1600 are different porting and fixing due to

the early head .

through the life the changes evolve around smiths valve , servo take offs, heater valves and all will fit

with small changes to plumbing etc.

 

the manifold you dont want is from a T2000/2500 when they angled the engine 15deg to make things fit and a angled manifold was used to re align the carbs to be upright

 

 

well something like that
