[QUOTE=Brian T;1672705]This is a late reinforced exhaust manifold that was introduced in mid 1930 to the end of production, it is in fairly good condition, however there is a 1/16 to 1/8 drop at the #4 port, which can be overcome using a few of the alignment rings and the 2 piece copper gaskets.
There is no rust pitting, the entire manifold as had a coating added, maybe ceramic ?, and as been flaking off, there is some pitting at the # 1 port probably from a leaking water pump, the manifold to muffler pipe is OK.
I gave the manifold a light coating of flat black to enhance the condition, these manifolds are hard to find and not made anymore, with a media blasting I believe it would look good.
NEW PRICE $25.00 ----- TO BE PICKED UP, THANKS FOR LOOKING. WILL SCRAP SOON.
