If the flat top is hard to figure out, then give this one a try.
This was found at an auction about 50 miles north of me about 20 years ago. I don't know who owns it, but I took this picture at the national meet at Kansas City about 15 years ago. It sure looks like someone went to a lot of work to make a nice one off experimental manifold. Notice the 2 brass carb jets to let in a small amount of air to mix with the flow.
