Real or Repo?> - K code Exh Manifolds
« on: May 10, 2013, 05:07:08 PM »
Helping another who's attempting to identify a pair of exhaust manifolds. I'm guessing that they are only being cast with a single date code but have no references to help him out so I'm asking the community if any of you can help. Anyone have a set of repos or pictures of them for comparison? Thanks

Thanks guys owner will be happy. I had to chuckle when he was concerned with the "rust" on the surface ;)

Looks just like the real ones I have.  A couple pics attached. 

Looks like the date code was inserted upside down in the mold on my 2nd one, which I thought was interesting.

I've seen several variations of date codes on Hipo manifolds. These appear to be 125th and 188th day of 1966? Did 1965 castings include a year or only the Julian calendar day?
