Reed 453 manifold

Post by Dave Brillhart » Tue Aug 25, 2009 5:23 pm

Have two Reed 453 manifolds for the 820, minus the cages and carb mount. These have an opening that does not seem to fit any cage that I am familiar with, a slot about 1.0X1.75". Look like they might work well if I could find a cage. Does anyone have a complete one that could give me some direction. Thanks, Dave

Dave, it sounds as though you have only the base of the manifold, the 453 is a two part manifold for the 610-820, the REED 432 Power Products dual manifold bolts to the 453 base and then you use two pyramid reed units. Reed calls the 453 a "Y" Type dual top manifold.

Thanks Louie, All I had were the bases, and could not figure out what the top and cage configuration was. That makes sense.
