Winters Foundry

When did the Winters Foundry start producing Intake manifolds for GM? This was just found on a 1963 Olds 215 today. I did not think they cast anything for Oldsmobile till 1970 but seeing how they stopped making the 215 in 1963 this has to be back then

If I remember correctly, the 1957 Corvette fuel injection unit I had had a couple of winters foundry marks.
One on the base manifold and one on the " doghouse " .

You are correct; I recall that as well.

Winters primarily cast aluminum parts. After the 215, Olds didn't use any aluminum intakes until 1970.
