34 PICT Inlet Manifold - Type 1 Twin Port Engine

This twin port inlet manifold is designed for all 1600cc Type 1 aircooled engines running the widely used 34 PICT carburettor. Built as a good-quality reproduction of the original VW manifold, it provides the correct airflow path and pre-heat arrangement needed for smooth cold running, proper atomisation, and consistent drivability.

The manifold features a 35mm base flange and a single pre-heat connection, replicating the classic twin-port layout used from 1970 onwards. It is also supplied with vacuum take-off ports, which are essential for SVDA distributors or vacuum-operated accessories. If you do not require vacuum ports, they will need to be properly blanked off for correct operation.

Although designed as a direct replacement, some engines may require minor modification or adjustments during installation. This is common with aftermarket manifolds due to variations in exhaust pre-heat alignment, tinware clearance, or original engine configuration.

Key Notes:

• Gaskets are NOT supplied – we recommend replacing flange and heat riser gaskets during installation

• Vacuum take-offs included (blank off if not used)

• Some fitting modification may be required

• Suitable for all 34 PICT carburettor setups

• Twin-port configuration only

Applications:

• VW Beetle: 1970–1979

• VW Baywindow Van: 1971–1979

• VW Karmann Ghia: 1970–1974

• VW Trekker (Thing): 1970–1983

• VW Buggy + Baja: 1970–1979

This manifold is ideal for restorations, rebuilds, and conversions where a stock-style induction system is required, providing the correct geometry and compatibility for your 1600cc twin port engine.
