The Volvo B18 and B20 series of OHV engines were introduced in the early 1960s and powered a number of popular Volvo cars. Many such vehicles are still running today and a large number of owners chose to upgrade the engine’s induction by fitting the superb Weber 32/36 DGV carburettor.

In recent years availability of the custom intake manifolds has been sporadic; however, Webcon has solved that problem by manufacturing its own intake manifold.

The manifold is produced in the UK to Webcon’s legendary quality standards. It is supplied complete with a custom throttle linkage and necessary fittings as part number MW0042 priced at £397.12 plus VAT.

The new Volvo intake manifold is also supplied as a complete kit with an authentic Spanish Weber 32/36 DGV carburettor and a chrome air filter as part number PVO101 priced at £679.20 plus VAT.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

The Magneti Marelli distributor pick up 71326901 was originally fitted to the Ford Sierra Cosworth and Lancia Delta Integrale, as well as a number of other Fiat and Lancia applications, but was discontinued by Marelli in 2021.

A small number of aftermarket options remained in production until early 2023, but these have also now been discontinued.

Webcon is therefore pleased to announce the introduction of Webcon WPU088W which is a superb quality, Webcon produced replacement for 71326901.

WPU088W is priced at just £69.95 plus VAT and is available for immediate shipping.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Ford’s legendary Crossflow (Kent) engine first entered production in the 1960s. Although it has not been made for around forty years, tuning this engine is as popular as ever. Whilst many tuners favour a pair of Weber 40DCOEs, a significant number prefer the driveability and economy of a Weber 32/36DGV.

Despite the cessation of Ford’s production of the single carburettor manifold years ago demand is still strong and Webcon is thus delighted to announce that it has tooled up to produce the twin choke manifold for the Crossflow once again.

As you would expect, the revived manifold is made by Webcon in the UK to its exacting standards. The manifold is available as a package complete with an authentic Spanish Weber 32/36DGV jetted to suit the Crossflow, custom linkage and air filter. Order as part number PFO104 priced at £567.50 plus VAT.

The Crossflow manifold is also availabile on its own as part number MW4230 priced at £331.34 plus VAT and the authentic style throttle linkage kit is part number LP4230 priced at £79.86 plus VAT.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Of the 91,850 Triumph TR6s produced, 83,480 were exported, (almost all of them to the United States), so it should come as no surprise that quite a bit of the tuning equipment available today for the TR6 comes from the USA. A case in point is the lightweight flywheel for the TR6 from Fidanza Performance in Ohio.

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel is simple to install when the clutch is replaced and will bring the following benefits:

• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
• Smoother, faster shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – there is no need
to replace the entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel for the Triumph TR6 can be ordered as part number 172661 and retails at USD$438.91 plus shipping and tax.
