WTF? perhaps this car had water in there when it was in japan and it froze?
Maybe it's cause 3geezus got tired of carbs?
someone eithier hit the carb at some point, or someone at a point in time over torqued the carb to manifold nuts,thats the main thing that causes this. It even says in my chiltons that over torquing the nuts can crack the flange. that flange is aluminum it's soft.
my guess is there was some sort of vaccume leak and someone tightened the piss out of the nuts trying to fix it. that sometimes worked on old cars with flat gaskets, but it doesn't fix the o ring type gaskets. doesn't take much torque to seal the carb.
yea thats no good hah
wow...bad torque sequence

looks like sombody over tightend it or maybe that screw holding the throttle plate there is sticking out some so it cracked when it got tightend.
Or it didnt have enough antifreeze, I suppose that is possible.
