Hi All, I am looking for a carb insulator from an old Omni. I have the 1.7 intake .they ran the Holley 5200. I want to know if the 2.2 had the same carb and did they use the carb adapter?? If so < i would like to buy one. thanks, Mike Ogren 352/796/1985 racingcarsrental.com

Mike: You&#39;re talking about the aluminum plate between the intake manifold and the carb, right? My &#39;84 parts book calls out the same part number for both 1.7 and 2.2 engines.

Let me know, I may still have one extra.

No problem, Mike. How are you doing?

BTW, I&#39;m chasing a charging circuit problem. When I turn on the master switch, I get 12.5 volts. Turn on the ignition, voltage drops to 11 volts. When I start the engine, the voltage remains the same, meaning that the battery is draining.

I have replaced the alternator, and the voltage regulator. I then checked the continuity of the wires from the field terminals on the alternator to the voltage regulator plug. One tested ok after moving the probe aroud a while, but I could not get any continuity on the other wire. So I am replacing the voltage regulator plug. Grounds are all good - brand new cables.

Any tips?
