So with gas prices going up, I decided to take the Weber carburetors & manifolds off my GT6 & put the original Strombergs & manifold back on. I get a new manifold gasket (just one is sold for 6 cyl Triumphs, except TR5), stick it on, & the holes in the gasket for the inlet ports on the cylinder head are significantly, symmetrically off. What th..?
I'm now curious as to whether the orignal manifold's ports match to the holes in the head, & whether the 3-part Weber manifolds were close but still off.
Is there a method using Dykem Blue or something to paint it on the head, stick the manifolds on, & check to see if things match up? Or stick a piece of paper across to make a template or whatever? Or do you guys have a better suggestion?
If I could stand inside the cylinder head & look out as someone held the manifold up it would be best, but I'm not that limber any more.
