marcel, welcome. when can we see some snapshots of your car?

for clarification, the 1800 Spider was last produced for the 1978 model year. a 1979 would have a two litre engine.

Welcome to the forum Marcel. Mike is right about the '79 being a 2000 engine. Sorry, can't help you with the manifold and carbs but good luck with your search.

Welcome to the forum Marcel. Could it be that your car has had an engine transplant? Hopefully, your US model 79 wasn't a California import, by 1979 there was a lot of HP robbing smog crap on those.
Post pics for us, OK?
