As far as Corvettes go, it was used only for the 1971 LS-6 application. However, it was used for the 1970-71 Chevelle and Camaro L-78 and LS-6 engine applications which Clem mentioned.

At any given time there is usually at least one for sale on eBay. Selling prices are about $150 to 300. I can't imagine where all of these manifolds came from, but there sure seems to be a fair number of them "out there". GM must have sold quite a few over-the-counter.

Joe,

-----I have often wondered the same thing about the number of these manifolds out there.Ive come to a two level conclusion.
-----1st.The manifolds came on many many crate motors.
-----2nd.The manifolds were always known as weak performers.The low height was the culprit,I believe,because of raw fuel puddling up in the plenum.There was plenty of height underneath the hoods of all those Chevelles and Chevy IIs for any number of tall,better performing manifolds,therefore guys took em off and replaced em with better ones.............Bill S
