<VV> IECO manifols for LM 110

[Rodney Sampson]

Scotty:

    The issue is that the completed manifold (without casting spacers) 
is about 1/4-3/8" too long,  it won't
       drop down on the carb studs without forcing the fit. This 
particular manifold does not have a floating
       center section as does the ones I have for a 140...

Thanks
Rodney
