Well, you ARE confused. The Spitfire NEVER had a sub-liter engine. The
original Spitfire 4 had a 1147cc engine. According to my calculations, that's
more than a liter.

You mean 1147 and 1296 engines. No difference. Needles might be different,
but I'm not sure.
>Second question: How much for a manifold to use HS4's on a 1500 Spitfire?
I've read on the list that somebody in the US and definitely someone in
England has this setup at a fairly good price.

I wish.
