9-1/8" carb centers. The front of the intake manifold has the
boss or flange for the generator or fan assembly to mount to. It also
has the fill and draft holes behind this flange.

Regular intake has closely spaced carbs. The Offy regular dual intake
accepts two 3-bolt carbs. Great addition to a street oriented engine.
Has 4-3/4" carb centers.

competitors but at the cost of 1.2 lb-ft less torque. Overall, the
Offy had slightly better overall average power and torque numbers.
This twin carb set up produces better numbers than Offy's single
four-barrel intakes.
