i cant find the wagner site to save my life.
they are billet pieces, black anodized, that bolt to the stock steam hole location with a nice stainless allen screw. it even recesses in the fitting. then off to the side has pipe threads to run a pipe fitting from there.
its o ringed, and even has the nipple to locate it on the head.
they are about 5/8" thick, and about the shape of an advil liquid gel.
i dont have them here, or i would take a pic. they are at my shop.
stood up a lil too high for my tastes. but my tastes are strange. id sell them resonablly if anyone wanted them. 10+ ship for the pair. i think they were 15 each new.
here is what i run now. best pic i have. head tapped 1/8", with 1/8x-4an 90 adapter fittings.

You're spelling it wrong is why you can't find it. It's Wegner. Here are the pieces you are talking about.

That's what I should have done, it looks very clean that way. The heads were already bolted on when I got to that part.

I saw the website with those fittings but I was getting towards the end of the winter and sick of spending money.

Thanks! It's interesting to see the crossover between forums. Do you have any pictures of your project?

WOW! I was searching for those Wegner fittings, and this came up. That car looks amazing, and those wheels really set it off nicely!! Good job.

Yeah, the vice grip door handle was a big hit. Everybody wanted one.

I've been driving the car all summer and put at least 5k miles on it already. We went out to CO with it for two weeks too. Here it is at 10,000 feet

I came across your thread digging around for info on L92 valves. I know this is a few years old now, but I gotta say you pulled off a very nice intake manifold. Did you machine the flanges yourself? Are the runners bent and welded sheet? Did you do any design calculations on plenum volume, runner length/volume, etc?

Nice work. The car looks great!
