Bill and everyone that has offered to help:
The manifold I am referring to
as a low port manifold uses, as Jeff Kelly pointed out, the H4 SU with the
two mounting bolts. Bill, you called it the barbaric looking, crude one. The
H4 model was used up to TS8996L There was suppose to be a low port model that
used H6's, but it was only used from TS8997 to TS9349 and therefore is a much
rarer model. Another identifying point would be that the intake and exhaust
ports are in a nearly straight line, where as the high port heads have the
intakes in a visibly higher, and the carbs are angled upward where I believe
the low port manifold has them horizontal. I must admit, I have only seen a
couple of low port head/manifolds.
With all the responses I'm hoping one will
be scared up. This is one great group and proof the so much can be done in
numbers. Long live the FOT!
Thanks in advance - Ed

There's a
pretty clear picture of all three in the MOSS catalogue. I am
looking at the
Manifolds Page (page 15)_ in the Spring/Summer 2010 TRIUMPH
TR2-4 book, but
its the same picture that always appears in their TR2-4
catalogues.
