Factory Twin Side-Draft Carbs?

ddoyle · 11-10-2005

Just looking thru a Brooklands Road test on the Opel Manta. I notice they have a road test on a 1600 Manta Rallye. The intresting part is the TWIN Dellorto DHLA 40 sidedrafts and chromed rocker cover. It was produced by GM South Africa. Also came with a "Big bore exhaust". 0 to 60 in 12.5 sec, 106bhp. Only 1 picture of engine, b&w, and cant see the intake very well. Anyone know if this used a factory manifold?

Somewhere - sometime I remember running across a web site for a Sth. African domestic manufacturer of weber manifolds ... may be they used one of their products. Now I can't rest till I find it again!
