12a Intake Manifold for Hitachi 13b Carb
I've got a 12a engine that I have a 12a manifold for but the carb I have, which is for a 13b I believe (says Hitachi on it and is currently mounted to a 13b 4-port manifold), does not mount the same as the 12a carb. Is there a manifold that has the correct mounting for a later model carb or do I need an adapter of some sort?

its supposed to do that
You are probably better off selling or trading for a 12a nikki carb. I am running a nikki on a re-drilled 4-port 13b manifold and the bolt spacing is quite a bit smaller. I don't think there is physically enough space on a 12a manifold to mount the wider bolt spacing of a hitachi.
On a side note If you want to part with that 4-port 13b manifold(rx4 i assume) I would be interested.

Yea it doesn't look like there is any way to mount it directly to the manifold. Are there any companies that make adapters specifically for this kind of thing or is it just best to get a 12a carb? How about companies that make adapters to mount a 13b 4-port manifold to the 12a engine?

My suggestion would be to acquire a 12a nikki

Ok thanks for the info, can anyone point me to some write-ups simplifying the nikki carb to remove all the emissions and any other unnecessary stuff?
