    No, the bolts holding the carbs on are closer together on the 262 manifolds. Sorry I cant give you the numbers of the carbs tonight. I have a 262 with twin- H on a car stored for the winter about 5 miles from me and we are currently in an ice storm. I know there are others out there that have this info. I will look and get back to you later if someone doesnt get you the info.

    What is the casting number of the correct manifold for the later 262?

    307514 is a 1954 number for "262 Twin -H . However there are a lot of manifolds floating around that may be the exact same with a number thats not in any book. No one seems to know how this happened but it just did. So if you have one you think may fit , fit it up there and see . You may get a pleasant surprise,

    So the #307183 would be for the Hornet 308 engine due to the different carbs used?

    The only difference between a 308 and a 262 intake twin H manifold is the bolt pattern that bolts the carb to the manifold. 262 is narrow and the 308 is wider. Walt.

    And I have a 262 twin H manifold to get rid of, if anyone's interested. I think I paid 50 bucks for it and would be happy to get that out of it, plus shipping. I thought they were all the same when I got it- and the 308 car it was for is gone. Need to start getting rid of some of this stuff.

    From what I can find the correct carb is # WA-1 2114s?

    The following pictures are of a Wasp i.e. a 232 or 263 Twin H as well as a two pictures showing the difference in carburetor base plate mounting bolt spacing. The narrow spacing is for the Wasp and the wider for the Hornet twin H manifold. The carburetors used on the 232/262 twin H are WA1 990S - 2114S shown in the scan of the Carter manual. Note the casting number on the manifold for reference.

    If you find 2 of either one, remember they have to be rebuilt to make sure that they have the correct metering rods and main jets and all adjustments are correct. Walt.

    Is one of the mentioned carbs better than the other? and what is the tubing used for that I see attached to the end of the balance tube on some installations?

    Thanks for the info on this as I am finding there is a lot to learn.
