I had collected two Torkers from who knows where, and had read about this being done probably 10 years before that. So with some idle time, I did it just to be doing something. I made the carb flange bolt on in case I wanted to use a different style.

Notice how the port and flange size changed at some point during production between the two manifolds. The end with the larger ports, but smaller flange, will barely seal the top of a tall port like on a 455HO or RA IV head.
Nice work! The flange was changed shortly after the first year of production. You combined a first year manifold with a later unit. Is this the Torker you sold your buddy?
