It was not a question on the word manifold, it was the design of the check valve.  There were 3 cars that had the non-typical check valves.

In the pictures?  If not where are you referring to?

Jeff,  Ron and I judged six 1968 KR500s at Savannah. Of the six three had this strange valve that I pictured above.
Tim, I know two of the three were the blue fastbacks I can't remember the third

I don't want to get off topic but did 67's use the same?  A simple answer will suffice and if not I'll start a new thread.  ;)

Yes to the early version - in short simple answer.   We can start that thread if we haven't already posted pictures of those in the past

Didn't see any prior discussion or pictures so I started a new thread for 67's.

I'm getting pictures back from owners, so far 2 have side entry, 1 the 67/early 68 style. Trying to figure if side entry was from 68 model or "close" that was picked up somewhere.
Marty, I know 5, was #6 the green unrestored?

Yes #6 was the green unrestored. I believe it had the early original style or a modern replacement.
