If that is a factory Mazda fuel pulsation dampner (yellow plastic end cover photo 2) should be removed, prone to leaks, even in the cars.   David.  RV-6A   Rotary

Here is a shot of the intake manifold I have cobbled together over the past few months.  I have copied Ed's idea of using the telescoping tubing in an attempt to "tune" it once it's running.  I have three bolt holes on the bottom of the manifold that will allow me "lock" it in place over a range of 1.5 inches or so.  Won't know how well it works until I finally get around to running the engine (hopefully this Spring).  I tried to make it as low a profile as possible but this is about as low as I can make it while using the stock Mazda DIE manifold so will have to cut a "bump" into the cowling top if I end up using this manifold.  
 
Happy New Year and fly safe and 2008!
