[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] George B Roberts, Philadelphia

[wes.stewart at sunbeamsaloon.com]

I chatted with George regarding the manifolds and have a tech article in the making featuring them. He shared some pictures which I will scan and detailed the construction. Nice fellow, indeed.
Should be ready next week, likely on the article.

Thanks Bob, looks like a nice job.

Are there any other manifolds that fit the ST heads 
other than the factory units ?

Would be nice to have more options re: carb choice
