I have been searching for almost a year as well for the Volvo A series manifold since it's very practical; it bolts right on, and you've mentioned that with an adaptor a Ford Carb will work. AND like you said, if I don't like the results it can be converted back. If ANYONE has this manifold PLEASE drop me a line!! Seems that these are rare to be in the US, perhaps I'd have better luck seeking in Europe. -----Dani B. #5003 > What are you going to use for an intake manifold?
