    Some of the older 97 style intake manifolds won't work with the 94 style carbs because they are too tight together. Does anyone know what the spacing is to use the 94 carbs?
    Happy New Year!

    I just measured a Wilend 4 carb manifold I have sitting here with 94's on it and they measure 4 3/4" apart. The carbs barely fit so I'd say that is the minimum spacing.
    I used offset spacers on mine to fit 94s on a Offy 3 carb manifold.

    Thanks Metalman for the reply. I think some may be in the 5.125" range. I think I remember seeing that in an ad but haven't been able to confirm.
