[QUOTE="davidd, post: 52427, member: 1177"] I think Roy's solution is the best. I suspect that you can turn the flange off a stock one and you will be fine. There is a spigot manifold for a front head on the rear for the Lightning, but I am not sure of the number. Usually made in both steel and aluminum, but probably harder to find than a TIG weldor. Steel is good for a flange, but usually aluminum is better for a spigot because you have to neck the OD down to make the spigot. You might be able to turn a tube down to the right dimensions, cut the flange of a stock manifold and weld the tube with the spigot on. The deciding factor is where you want the carb to have its final resting place. David [/QUOTE]
