Where did you get one? Me wante!

The answer to your question is, they made 500 cars but more than 500 manioflds, those after the intial 500 wernt numbered, iirc.

 

[e3silversurfer]

hmmmm... i could number it myself wohooo

wondering what number is mine though.... doesnt say anywhere on it unfortunately.....

is there a unique part/serial number???

 

[mikeFRP]

thats how some of the manifolds you see are above 500. Dont think there is any way of findig out what number yours is :s

If i was you i would engrave it unique to the car not yourself unless your planning on keeping the car forever

Put "FMC 01" on it to really confuse people..

 

[mikeFRP]

My Manifold doesnt have a number. I was going to engrave my nick name there but havnt had chance yet

 

[jacko]

can i be 'FMS 01' then!

Ok now that i have got this here comes the headache part.... How do i get this on... I do not understand the number of connections (pipes and electrical) on them... I count 7 different inputs (or outputs) on the inlet manifold but i can only see 5 on the standard puma manifold.


the manifold:

here they are:

2 unknown

3 unknown 1 inlet air tempreture sensor

ICV

is this alright?? or is it damaged??

the other very big hole is for the MAF.

on the standard puma i can only see 5 pipes into the manifold:

can anyone direct me with the correct pipes to the correct connectors please ??

not true.. there were all 1000 numbered
i saw some with number 6XX, 5XX ...

 

[jacko]

they only numbered upto 500 odd as far as iv seen. never seen one with a 6**. def no more after 700. they were going to make 1000 cars but got ditched quite early

 

[jacko]

[e3silversurfer]

I have never seen any numbered over 600 either. Where did you hear that from?

Looks so smart that. 8)

thanks matt. used loads of carberator cleaner to clean the insides (just a thought... is that carbuerator cleaner same as petrol??)

after that wiped dry and used autosol to polish it. took about 2 hours. thinking of sanding down the rough parts and get them polished as well... but not so sure if thats practical.

 

[e3silversurfer]

will these codes tell me what number the manifold is out of the 1000??

If you never get round to fitting it elvin, i know a nice little 1.7 that would love an frp manifold! k:
