I have the same problem.  I have a '79 Spitfire and will be needing to 
fabricate one of these air rails myself.  so I would also like the 
dimensions.  Was the pipe made out of aluminum?  I was thinking of using 
copper tubing for mine.


I can find plenty of the air rails that go into four ports in the head, 
but none of the ones that go into the lower part of the exhaust 
manifold.

Thanks.

The tube that comes off of the manifold, around the back of the eng (I
think)
and to the rubber hose from the smog pump on my 77 1500 is missing.  It
had a hole in it so I took it off figuring I could get one.  Well I tried
to order one and was told that they aren't available.  And of course I
can't find what was left of my old one.

If anyone is working on the car this weekend, could you measure the OD,
the length, and the distances to the bends and home much bend  of the tube
so I could make one.

TIA

John
