Hey everyone, I've got a '69 RT-43 with a 3R (not a 3RC) and I've got a 32/36 DGEV. I'd like to put the two together without fabricating my own adapter plate.... anyone know where I could get one?

I took an adapter plate off a 3RB or 3RC Corona RT43/52 manifold, and the plate & screws on my work bench are at the farm (large storage). We will go back about the 12th of September and I can look. If interested, let me know.
Your engine should be a 3RC in your 1969-70 Corona (the 'C' meant it had an air pump system for smog reduction). On the block will be stamped 3R and the serial number, probably something like 830000 or higher.
We are planning another trip to Riverside, CA, late September to get another load of Corona parts. We will be there for a week to disassemble rear ends, front ends & doors to try to save the good parts to bring home, and leave the heavy stuff for scrape that no one needs. If this is of interest to anyone who might want to come and spend the day taking stuff apart, let me know. Also, if you want parts brought to Riverside for you to pick-up let me know fairly soon.

Carlyn, I know it SHOULD be a 3RC, but the guy I got it from told me "I have no idea why, it's a USDM car, but it's got a 3R, not a 3RC."
now that you mention the smog pump though, it IS there, but completely disconnected. Maybe he didn't know what he was talking about.
anyway, yes. I'm interested in the adapter plate... is there any way to get it sooner than 9/12? if not I understand. How much do you want for it? and yes, I'm interested in having it shipped. I need it ASAP! I'm scared to take this thing out of my local area with the messed-up carb it's got on there now...
