Great, I think these infos should be enough for the moment.

Thanks ... Marcel

Germany´s north is freakish like a woman. 

Only if you start changing up anything else.  The Y’s in general do like more initial ignition advance though than what was supplied from the factory.  Experimentation will help you find the best curve once you start changing up the camshaft, carb, vacuum hookups, and distributor.

Heck, I've seen all four seasons in one day over there at some of the military bases.

You find all 4 seasons here in Germany. I´ve found a intake on ebay last night and now it´s mine.



I will slot the holes and try it out. Should I change the ignition timing Point?

 Thanks Hurricane,Forgot about that little aspect,living here in Southern Calif. we tend to forget about cold weather issues! Sorry Marcel--I Bad. Kid

Marcel:

I don't know about your weather, or if you will drive your truck in cool, damp weather, but if you do, you probably don't want Mummerts newest manifold as it does not have exhaust heat to the carb mounting flange.  Heat is needed there to heop prevent carburetor icing in humid weather. n Blue Thunder and ECZ-B manifolds have heat to the carb.

The ECZ-B manifold will allow you to use an Edelbrock Performer carburetor.

It has the "modern" pattern so any new square bore carburetor will mount to it.



There are a few modifications you should consider before mounting the ECZ-B manifold and larger carburetor.

Okay, but will Edelbrock carbs fit on the ECZ-B 4-barrel manifold? I mean carbs like the Performance series I can get here at a local dealer. For sure I'ld prefer more economic opportunities to run a modern carb.

Sorry for my greenhorn questions, but searching the forum is hard because of the language. Where will I find a suitable intake?

Marcel,   I think the cast iron ECZ-B 4-barrel manifold would be a better choice for street use with a 500 cfm carb (or a little smaller cfm model--see forum on carb size other members have used with good results) but if an aluminum manifold is what you want then go with John's new one insted of the Blue Thunder(used with a more modified engine)!Using the cast iron manifold would be cheaper and the money saved could be put to the cost of the new carb!KID
