Correct 67 BB exhuast manifolds???

[Daniel E.]

All,

I recently removed the following manifolds from my 67 390HP roadster. Before restoring them, I wanted your expert opinion. Do I have the correct parts? I have referenced the TIM&JG and the NCRS archives and can verify that the casting numbers are correct. It is my understanding that the part changed configuration slightly from the '66 production to the '67. The RH date is C106 and the LH date is L126. I am most concerned with verifying the RH based on the what -- Mike McCagh #14 wrote Monday, 21 July 2003, "FYI there is a difference between 66 and 67 BB manifolds in that there is a teat-like protrusion on each side of the 66 manifolds tyhat the 67 and up lack." What/where is this teat?

Thanks in advance
Daniel

I'd say these are correct. However, check the REAR side of them. There should be a date code there. If the date code is consistent with the car's build date, then I'd say that there's a certainty that they're original, regardless of nuances of configuration.
