You know what the saying goes about "assume"...??

There was a lot of back and forth discussion between Mark and Phil Threshie. There was no deposit placed, and no formal order made.....therefore there is no "refund".....

That is one of the things that I am addressing now. I can not "undoo" what has been done in the past, all that I can do, is try to resolve issues in the present.

As soon as I can get another manifold finished, I will email the people that were interested in placing an order, and ask if they are still interested. If so, then orders will be taken. Again, deposits will not be requested, nor taken, without products being "on the shelf" ready to ship.

Thank-you,
Ken Adolf

OK, fair enough - I get the '***' part of the word.

MArk Anderson has one on his car, and I believe he has dyno before-and-after results... it is an improvement.

i did formally order the parts and received a pro forma invoice by email on dec 27th for the total of $5474 for the manifold, throttle bodies, loom extension, injectors, linkage etc.
i was told it would be ready to ship in 2 weeks.
on 11th of jan i emailed to see if the order had been shipped and got a reply that the fabricator had been busy and it would be another 2 weeks. no money was taken from the credit card and ken has said he will sell me one once he has one finished. email me once its finished ken thanks mark.

I should have been more-clear and stated 'single plenum' intake manifold, which is different than Mark's.

I sent my manifold back to Ken a few weeks ago to be repaired and I just got it back today. Despite all that may be going on there Ken is a man of his word.

There is one single plenum manifold built. It has not been run on an a dyno, so I do not have any specific info on it yet.
That is on my list of "things to be completed", and now, unfortunately, it will be several weeks before I can even look at it. When I can make that happen, I will notify you.

Thank-you.

Great!

If it dyno's well, I'm sure there will be more interest in it.
