Ive always wondered how the intake and exhaust manifold works on the older tractors.
For example you pop the hood of a truck the carb is sitting on the intake which is on the top of the motor each cylinder has a port that goes from the intake to the heads.then your exhaust comes out of the side each cylinder has and exhaust port.
You look at a tractor the carb is hanging from the intake and the fuel mixture goes up the tube then into the motor.
For example my 8n ford has a 4 cylinder engine in it i currently have the manifold off its got a total of 6 ports so how does it work with out each cylinder having a intake and exhaust port. The intake and exhaust manifold are one piece.
Ive owned and worked on a bunch of antique tractors but never really understood how that setup would work.
Does anyone have any pictures or a simple way to explain it
Thanks
