Detailed Product Description

The Autotecnica FD1416590 intake manifold is engineered to meet the specifications required by Ford and Mercury Sable and Taurus models. Made from Pa6, a robust polyamide material, it withstands engine heat and mechanical stress while maintaining structural integrity. The manifold measures 486 mm in length and 357 mm in width, with a center maximum height of 186 mm, ensuring proper clearance and fit within the engine bay. Its black color finish provides additional protection against corrosion and wear.

This intake manifold features a single plane design, which is commonly used to improve throttle response and mid-range torque in naturally aspirated engines. The four mounting holes, each with a 10 mm diameter, allow for secure installation onto the cylinder block. While this part is not CNC ported, it meets regular grade standards for reliable daily driving and engine performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving
