anyways i put this in FI section but decided i would get more hits from crx forum

ok so...i finally got my manifold...installed it tonight

but my hood is hitting it its just laying on it doesnt close. probably an 1 inch or lil less for it to close...





show me your ramhorn set ups in your crx if you have it. thx

 

Well I mean theres isn't much to say if it doesn't fit. If you dont think you could trim the skeleton and make it fit, then it either doesnt fit or your motor mounts are taller than another brand. ??

Yager-

 

i think thats a sohc, he doesnt have a choice in motor mounts...

Don't even know how i missed that. anyway, then ya its gotta be the manifold or trim the hood.

 

Trim the hood......

 

IT's that particular ramhorn. I have seen ramhorns on 88-91s before without any major problems. If you don't mind me asking, who made that for you?

 

hate to break it to u, but u might be outta luck with the ram horn set up. U can either cut out the hood or sell ur ram horn and pick up a log manifold. bummer man

 

x2 i would like to know also

 

lol cut the hood and let them babies stick out lol try and pass em off as something MEAN, which really they are, ur boosted lol.

 

i dont think cutting the hood will even make it work.

as for the company i wont say. its a very good company that has been pushing out great products. i dont want to same the name due to one minor honest mistake.

 

its a mistake you have to pay for! let us know who it is so others who buy from them wont have to go through your troubles

 

If the company is soo good then they will correct the mistake for no charge. Send it back, tell em whats up.

Exactly. And holy ****, If you're going for a crank triggered ignition, do something other than filling the distributer hole with JB Weld! Oh my nasty freaking God!!

umm thats a paper towel filled with oil...

there is rtv gasket maker around it cause we thought we had a leaky dizzy o ring.

 

most manufacture ramhorns are the exact height, and is constructed with 2.25" elbows, which is standard radius.

unless they use short radius elbows, a ramhorn will have hood clearance issues regardless of company/who made it, unless he promised it will fit ed/ef chassis.

 

just called company

he said if all else fails he will make me another manifold that fits.
