Actually, Rusty, the secondary ports on the
NA block and the turbo block are different. In fact, when I saw the amount
of gasket it reminded me of the amount I see when I try a NA manifold against a
turbo block. Secondaries on the NA and Turbo are different.

I called up Atkins, and they said they never made
a straight manifold for the turbo block, though they did make one for
an "early 4 port". I think they're referring to something like the 84-85
13B in the RX-7, but I'm not sure. They also made a straight manifold
for the 6 port, which must be what I have. Silly me, I actually
expected the 6 port manifold to have 6 ports, like the engine
does.
Next time I go to the hanger, you can bet that I'll be
measuring some manifolds. I'm now wondering if the one I was using
previously had the proper size ports. Ignorance is bliss
:-)
I'm still not
sure what I'll do. The manifold would certainly run like this,
but it would never be right. At the moment, I'd like to get done with this
&*#$@ fiberglass oil cooler scoop. At least it's far better looking
than BUC.
Cheers,
Rusty (who as
you know, hates fiberglass)
