    Hello: I am Tim Bowman. I worked for Man-A-Fre in the sixties and have been helping guys get their assemblies run right ever since. I continue to build them today here in Lincoln, Nebraska. I know I can get yours running properly. Contact me at 19513772245 or [email protected]. See some of my goodies on my website and read about my old boss at Man-A-Fre. The master himself, Harold Graves taught me well as I worked by his side. oldschoolinduction.com.
    Ring me up any time please and pass this along to any of your hot rod friends running a Man-A-Fre fuel system. The fastest most unique four deuce fuel system. I am on central time.

    Hello sir: I am Tim Bowman former employee of Man-A-Fre in the sixties. I worked alongside Harold Graves the founder. I still build all the various Man-A-Fre assemblies today here in Lincoln, Nebraska. I read your post suggesting you might try a set of quads for a while. You will not like the result sir. A properly tuned Man-A-Fre will out perform the quads any day. I have looked over your very nice setup on the Vette. I see a couple areas that definitely need attention. I would like to help you tune your Man-A-Fre correctly. I just finished tuning Nicolas Coe’s graffiti coupe. He is a member here from Arkansas and will gladly attest. Would you contact me? 951-377-2245 Thank you sir. Tim Bowman.

    Hi Tim very cool of you to help guys out with the man-a-fre. I wish I had your knowledge when I had mine on the coupe. Also I hope you got the casting patterns and all the other goodies including patent paperwork when they were for sale and will continue making some more.

    Unless I’m wrong I think his building is limited to setting up the carbs on existing manifolds
    I don’t think there are new manifolds to be had.

    From what I’ve read on the history that’s available I don’t think it was him who got them.
    It would be good if he did and had some cast.
