425 MANIFOLD

JONESY · June 20th, 2005, 05:26 AM

I HAVE A 69 DELTA 88 WITH SINGLE EXHAUST,AS WE ALL KNOW THE DRIVER SIDE MANIFOLD FOR DUALS IS HARD TO FIND.I FOUND A MANIFOLD IN A 66 STARFIRE
STAMPED 384895. WILL THIS GO ON MY 455 WITH NO MODIFICATIONS?

Jonesy, I don't know but I had the same problem. I finally had to modify an exhaust manifold from a toronado. Had to cut the end where the downtube bolts up to the manifold and rotate it 180 degrees and weld it back so it would clear the steering box. As you know, it is next to impossible to get headers for our car, unles they are custom made. Good luck.

Hey, I just found something on another site. Her is the link. It looks like your manifold will fit. About the third post down the list there is a link to an ebay sale.

THANKS OLDSGUY. HOW CAN I SEND PICS OF MY CAR?

something about needing a host site to keep them up. Then you need a link to that site. I have never done it because I don't have premium membership with a web server like AOL with all the bells and whistles. Maybe someone can show you how, sorry. You could just send me a few pics as attachments to an e-mail though, I would appreciate it. dans@commenco.com

you can put photos on snapfish for free. Then follow the steps. I just started with this recently. It will take a few times to get the hang of it. If you have pic's on your comp in your doc's or photo album snapfish let's you browse then move them to their site to form your own albums. www.snapfish.com

This manifold is for a 68-70 425 Engine not 455

The 1969-72 exhaust manifolds feature a divider between the center exhaust ports. The 1967 and earlier models do not have this feature. Also, all manifolds except 1970 to 1972 will have a heat riser (shutoff) on the left-side exhaust manifold.

I just found a Left side Dual Exhaust Manifold for my 394...now I must make a shut-off-plate for the Right side Exhaust Manifold, since they are the same on single & dual exhaust systems.

THORTON REPRODUCTIONS has your LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD.......
