That would make more sense, certainly, but I have at LEAST two
reference books which say that the Alfa-six had six single throat,
downdraft Dellortos!?????

I checked up on this after the first time someone suggested 6
single-throat
Dellortos: not true. The detailed cutaway factory drawings clearly
show 3
twin-chokes were used on the Alfa 6.

The original Alfa-Six saloon also had carburettors (six single throat
Del'Ortos as I recall). It might be easier to find one of those
manifolds than it would be to find a manifold from a South
African 3.0
liter GTV-6. BTW, you are aware that the S.A. 3.0 liter was a
different
engine than was the subsequent Milano Verde (Alfa 75) 3.0
liter V-6 are
you not? Don't know if it would make any difference about the intake
manifold, but I think I'd find out before purchasing a manifold off
that engine were I you. Just a thought....
