I found the solution. I since I have 2.1 AMC
heads on the 1.9 block, I have to use the 2.1
plenum and intake runners. I can still attach the
1.9 throttle body to the plenum.
The 2.1 will fit the 1.9 block with some rounding
our of the bolt holes.
I had plenum of questions earlier, thanks for the
replies.

    Intake and plenum from 1.9 to 2.1 are
different.  I  don't know why
one would not fit the other.  2.1L runners are
larger in dia.
2.1L plenum has a tab for the idle stablizer.

I am reassembling. OH-OH,  the intake runners
won't line up with the plenum?  What is going on
here? Do I have to use 2.1 runners with the 2.1
plenum?  I have all those parts, under a board
with 2 transmissions stored in a Vanagon.  I hate
to pull all of it out just for the plenum but
will if I must.  Please tell me I answered my own
question.  Robert  1985 Vanagon GL
