I just got an 84 GSL, but it doesnt have a carb or intake manifold on it. I will be putting a different engine in before too long, so I want something very cheap. Any ideas on the cheapest way I can get a manifold/carb on this car so I can drive it some before it becomes my garage queen?

P.S. It is going to be my project car, getting a 90 j-spec TII engine and tranny, and all the goodies, and a very sweet body to go with it.

 

I can sell you a carb and manifold. the carb is a little fucked; hesitates and bog, but if you need it for only temporary there is nothing wrong with it. the carb and man. are from an '84 GSL.
Now, other options:
Find a used '79-'80 intake manifold. from a junkyard or elsewhere. they flow better than the later ones. You could even send the carb and manifold off to Paul Yaw and have it modded for ~20-25 hp. Anyways, if you need a cheap carb and manifold that WORKS and is perfectly safe, PM me
Later

How much do you want for that? The engine needs a very heavy dose of ATF, and I dont think it will last too long after that anyways. But if the price is right, I might get that from you. Ill have to check the junkyards around here to see if I can get a manifold, and maybe a carb too.

Thanks for the help.

 

Kinda hard to get a 79-80 carb to work on later first gens. You'd have to somehow block the open air passage left open on the engine... the ealier manifold doesnt cover this area.

 

I'll sell you my old carb and intake with all the emissions **** and the shutter valve removed for cheap if you pay shipping. It worked fine.
