20 degree intake manifold/Rupp

[Hamlin57]

Will this adaptor work on these Tec?
Its an alum. wedge to get the bowl of the carb to sit leavel on a Rupp.

that should work, is the angle is correct. But I think when you put the back wheel and shocks on you will see the the motor will be tipped more forward then 20 Degrees.

I did a check before I took off the wheels and I got 23 degrees,one more thing shoud I just eliminate the Tec intake and put the wedge right on the engine block? The "S" type looks inefishent. Is there a spell check on this some were?
I mentioned 23 degrees before to a Rupp expert and was told 20 degrees,
This engine stuff is new to me and I was told to use a snow thrower engine,cuz of little use, I need to start this up and see it run.Thanks for the input.

My old Tecumseh book indicates you can run the engines up to 30 degrees without changing the carb mounting. Hard to believe ,but some of the Rupp models did not use the slanted intake.

Yes you are right, I have seen many of the Rupp Sprints that had the stock set up. And I hear they leak at the bowl in time.

im no rupp expert but have dealt with the angled engines and the angled intake to make the carb level is your best bet

I believe through the '70 model year, Rupps used a standard intake manifold along with a diaphram carb.
