	Hi guys, I got given this inlet manifold but have no idea what car it came off. It has ALEXANDER cast in the balance pipe and AEC158 cast in one of the inlet tracts. It came with a pair of Stromberg 150 CD carbs which is why I got it. Anyone able to solve my mystery? I also got given an early Triumph Herald twin carb mainfold. The type with the push fit balance pipe.

	Alexander Engineering, wooooo! Cool stuff. They did stuff for the A series (not that!) as well as a lot of Ford stuff IIRC, like flathead 4, Consul lump, that sort of thing. They will probably be pretty well sougfht after as they are well rare and pukka period stuff.

	don't know what it fits, but I'd bet its pre crossflow in design, going by the huge expanse between the middle ports. it may not have originally had twin strombergs (now theres a phrase to strike fear into a mechanics heart ) but rather twin HS2 su's.

	I suspect its a twin 1 1/4" SU manifold too. I'm not an expert but it looks a bit like pre crossflow Ford to me. Definitley doesn't look like it'd fit a small Triumph engine and obviously not A or B series.
	Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.
