GD 214 intake manifold.
The reason I ask mine had an old carb on it when I got it.
Rather than try and find a kit for it I bought a new one from a Company in Florida who specializes in carbs.
It will not fit the bolt pattern of the manifold that was on the engine when I bought the truck.
I did look at their web site before ordering and it says what I have will fit.
The bolt holes on the new card are too far apart to fit the studs on the manifold.
I contacted them in Florida and they swear that the one they sent me will fit a GD214 intake.
I have thought about making it fit but I question if the gasket would seal it correctly.
I suspect at some point the intake has been changed.
Would anyone know what brand the original card may have been? I am assuming it was the original one as it has a sediment bowl just before the fuel goes in the carb.
Any thought/ideas on this?
Thanks.
