I have a habit of overthinking things. Not very likely an Air Gap manifold would fail when using a carburetor lift plate unless the intake is heavily ported with paper thin walls or there is a flaw in the manifold casting.....Murphy's Law.
 Here's a nifty tool, a 35 degree articulating engine pivot plate, handles a big block/TH400/GV..... hmmmm  :Edited by AMXFSTBK390 - Mar/18/2018 at 9:06pm |

Those just look like simple 1/4" plates with holes drilled in them. Why not just make some? Probably take all of half hour to make four of them. |

AMC Okie: Summit Racing sells the articulating engine tilting plate.
Dennis: The nearest metal sales is Moose Metal, Concord, 25 miles away. I plan to make a trip there soon to restock. Home Depot(HD) is four miles from here but the flat stock HD sells is low carbon and not tempered. I used HD's 1-1/2" x 1/4" x 4' to make a breaker bar I bolted to the crank flange on an AMC 390 and bent the bar! The wrist pins were dry-seized. I'm now after A36 plate or A5148 plate. 1/4" thickness might be best. Don't have a band saw, plasma cutter, cold saw, chop saw. Do have a monster drill press and 4" grinder and with a cutting disc should do the job. Here's a tech illustration did yesterday of the bracket dimensions. Thought someone else might find it handy.

The steel that is sold at Home Depot is absolute garbage- based on its yielding, it appears to be half lead. A36 is structural quality steel, not hardened, but is common and good quality with a minimum of 36,000 PSI yield strength. It is available in rectangular bar so you don't need to buy plate stock.

SONOFAMX: Ninth post down, One Bad Rambler posted a picture of an AMC V8 with a yellow A/T attached with what looks like a Air Gap Manifold with carb plate. There is a YOU TUBE video he made installing that engine from underneath the car....not from above. If you google "AMC Small Car Engine Install" you can view the video on how he did it.
