Correct Heat Riser for 265cu. V8 "55"

[Karl L.]

Anyone...
"55" 265cu. V8 Late/Early Build Date

What is the correct shape of the weight on the heat riser?
Tombstone or rectangler style?
Was late build date different than early?
Passenger different than Vette?

Thanks Roy,
I bought a used one last year on ebay. (Tombstone)
I think I have three of the rectangular ones I"ve gotten thru the years.
Know I know for sure.
I had thought, maybe the late "55's" used the latter heat riser.

You must have quite an archive of "55" info Roy.
Thanks for being there for us!

55 is the most over looked Corvette in NCRS , that's why I have a great interest in them.
