Hello Triumph Types,

That shouldn't be a problem since I've located a
replacement manifold (thanks to David Clark) from a '79 that'll (hopefully)
work on my '76. At least the guys at TRF seemed to think it would. I just
have to get new studs now.

I believe the '79 manifold will bolt up just fine, *but* this manifold
is designed to be used with the CATalytic converter hanging off
of it. You will have to get a (possibly gutted) CAT, or fabricate
some kind of transition to bolt to your existing exhaust pipe.
Additionally, the EGR valve location is different and some modification
may be required here. Fortunately the AIR injection system on
both '79 & '76 cars use an "air distribution manifold" (although they are
different) to port the air directly in to the head. Unlike '77 & '78
Spitfires
which port the air directly through one orifice into the exhaust manifold.
Hope this helps
Bob Sykes
