There was a thread on this but cannot seem to post to it.
I am standing here looking at my 1071 lump...the inlet manifold is a 12A 661 P and it has AEG 347 stamped on it.
Yes, it has the C C breather on my car.
Wondering about this stamping...I thought the original inlet had the 12A # ground off!!
Anyone seen this on their 1071 cars???
Cheers

The manifold you describe is more often associated with slightly later 1275 S engines, but it is conceivable that if your 1070 is a late one it could be its original manifold.

The original 1070 inlet would have been a 12A309 (ground off) & hand stamped AEG179

Like this;

That is what I thought it should have...my car was built June 64...a couple of hundred cars after the positive ventilation was introduced. So, it would have to have a manifold with two outlets...servo and the crankcase venting. It is the same manifold that is on my two 1275 cars except no stamped #.

I would have thought they would have ground the 12A # off...maybe not!

In that case yours sounds OK to me.

Thanks...while we are on this...dug up this mani in my barn over the weekend...what was this fitted to????
It has 12A 661 P on it and 1004 stamped on it.

you have a pm. ian

That's a bit too neat for the ones I've seen.

try big coarse file and set of teeps

yes

Just experimenting.... pretty sure this one came with the car.

Cheers, Ian

..... well it works for me.. can anyone else see it??

Still too fine a file. To use the terminology of the time, use a ba*tard file. Probably called a full cut now in the new pc world.

The AEG347 seems to be correct for the closed circuit 970 and 1071 variants.
Here is a picture of the setup on my Aug 64 970...it is the same as the one fitted to my 1071 with the closed circuit system. The picture isn't all that sharp...it has 12A661 P cast on and AEG 347 stamped into the casting as well.

I posted a pic of a 12A661 P manifold with a stamp of 1004 on it...does anyone know what this manifold was used for...I actually have two of these.

i belive 1004 is for a 998 cooper
