<VV> YENKO STINGER FOR SALE ON EBAY

[Joe White]

The intake manifolds are really interesting. Does anyone know who made the intake manifolds? Maybe I missed the information, but does anyone know what the carbs are? Holley -Weber, Weber IDA? I couldn't tell from the picture. The reason that I ask is that I always thought that a progressive two barrel using small primaries would be a great carb set up for a Corvair. Same idea as in the Finch book and similar to the set up that Clark's offered a few years ago. This set up looks more interesting because of the tri-ported heads.

Speaking of carbs - I picked up a good PG transaxel this weekend (yeah, I know, not a carb by itself). The guy I got the transaxel from was really nice, young, and into Corvairs. He had a ton of parts. He also had an older Honda Civic onto which he had installed a Rochester HV. The old Honda carb had worn out to the point of uselessness. The car runs really great and he says that he gets 45 mpg.

A search of YS-316 produced no results, so I have here the correct link:

I cannot speak of the 140 issue, as the heads have been modified for 
hree inputs from one carb each head.
The body mods makes me think of the car I did 20 years ago for a couple 
n Colonial Heights. I didn't like them then and I still think they look 
ad, but that's my opinion.
