Jim, you asked this same question a little over a week ago! As I mentioned, this is not an LHD/RHD issue.

The pics you have posted show a 21A-9430 manifold from a 1942-48 car engine. The distance from the block face to the outlet face is 2 3/4in. Terry's pic he posted appears to be the correct truck manifold 78-9430, which is 2in from the block to outlet face. I note from your previous comments that you have a 221ci car engine, not the 239 that should be in a CMP.

There are frequently many of the correct 78-9430 manifolds that appear on e-bay, but none seem to be listed just at the moment. Keep watching and one should appear soon. I have a couple of spares here, but for the price of postage to the US, you could buy 5 in the US off E-bay!

Tony:
Yes, I did ask the same question a week ago and, after re-reading your earlier reply, it finally soaked into my brain that there was a difference between the 21- that I have and the 78- that should go with the engine. Your latest pictures really show the difference in the heighth of the two.

Thanks for your patience! My apologies for not reading your email closely enough! My Will keep my eyes open for the 78- manifold on eBay!

Regards,
Jim
