4 Cylinder or 5? What year?
I am familiar with a few of these rolling wonders of engineering marvels.
Some of these have a LARGE "Flapper" type mass air flow to help the fuel management system. (this was used into the 1990's) This system could be MODIFIED, for use with a vapor carb, as the fuel injection system being disabled, it would provide a great place to mount a "Pull" type spring, and have it NORMALLY CLOSED. so this means VACUUM would "pull" it open, and if there was a flashback of significance you would have the pressure in the manifold reach zero vacuum, effectively CLOSING the flapper, and as pressure rose in the intake, the flapper door would be HELD SHUT for a brief instant, but only until a cylinder opened on the downward intake stroke.
Pictures of the induction system WITH and WITHOUT the Air Cleaner, and related tubes would be very handy in figuring this out. I could ask the Russians here where to get a manifold?
Again, Make, MODEL, YEAR, and most important: ENGINE SIZE AND OTHER RELATED SIGNIFICANT SPECS. (California, or Federal Emissions?) You are obviously overseas, so it does NOT apply on that end, but Turbo-Charged, or SuperCharged? does it have a v6? v8? v10? or V12? or heaven forbid a V16?
