[DML] Questions Re: B280 .... Im so confused.

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

Sorry to confuse you- DeLorean uses a certain kind of intake manifold
with it's injection system that are easily able to obtain. Currently
on the list- we are discussing the manifolds (in hopes of trying to
find something to use with a carburetor) that are used on OTHER PRV
engins, such as the ones in Volvos or Chryslers, they are different
from our intakes and some are extremely hard to get such as the B28A
manifolds, these aren't tall like ours and accepts carburetion.
PRVs?-very reliable and long lasting as far as I'm concerned-while
they arent HO, they are pretty decent. -----Dani B. #5003
