<< Mr Liebetreu-
Jeez, I hate it when they don't sign their email...
Just what manifold do you really have ? You state that it will fit a pre
'72. You then say 2 liter and 2.5 liter, since these manifolds are not
interchangeable, I (I assume others) am confused. What did this manifold come
off of ? ( The 2 liter motor has the same port spacing as the POST 72 TR6,
but the TR6 manifold will not clear the hood on a GT6) Or, did the manifold
come off of a GT6+, which has the lower front carb mounting to clear the
hood, in which case it would bolt up to the later TR6, although with an odd
appearance
Certainly sir, you are not one of those TVR interlopers posing as a Triumph
owner here on this list, just to steal our "secret stuff" ? <G>
If indeed this setup came from one of those weird TVR 2500 (non M) things,
then it will indeed fit any pre '72 TR6, but not any of the GT6 cars (don't
know about any other 2 liter cars of this vintage...)
Who put that TVR in my garage ?

My manifold originally came off of a '71 TR6 with narrow port spacing. My
'72 2500cc motor had the wider spacing thus the new manifold and desire to
rid myself of the old one. With regard to hood clearances on GT6 cars I have
no information so if there is a problem with that I was not aware of it. And
in response to stealing you Triumph guys "secret stuff" do you mean all those
highly classified discussions of paint codes and air-conditioners? We TVR
owners don't even need no stinkin' paint. Well thanks for clearing me up on
the 2 liter engines problems. I will be more clear in the future. You can
continue to address me as Mr. Liebetreu.
