Dellorto Inlet Manifold, Linkage and Header options

[RatsunDatsun]

Hi,

Im in the process of building and L20 for my 510. Planning on running a set of 45 dellorto's, however not sure of inlet manifold and extractor options. I see you can buy various different manifolds however all seem to either suit 40's or 48's. Anybody know where you can get a reasonably priced manifold to suit 45's which doesnt require modification?

Also, keen to get views on throttle linkage kits and where to buy. I am keen to use the rod rather than cable type so I can use the standard datsun linkages if possible?

Lastly, also keen to gather views on best headers to use. Palmside encouraged me to use a Pacemaker, however they seem difficult to get in NZ. I see that you can get Topend Performance shorty header on ebay for reasonable money too. Anybody had experience with either, or know of more readily available alternatives in NZ??

Any words of advice would be much appreciated.

I'm going down exactly the same path as you are. I will pm you after work tonight and tell you what I have found out, and what I'm planning to do. I'm also keeping the rod linkage.

Talk to Craig at Proparts (his user name is hsepwr on here) I think he can get manifolds.

let me know also how you get on with the rod linkages

I can supply exhaust and inlet manifolds and I used to use a linkage setup untill the linkage setup was more hassle than its worth so went to twin cable setup which is really tidy and easy to tune.
