Post subject:  Help ID'ing Vintage Headers

Hey got these at a swap meet and they are different from anything i've seen before. The Headers join at the 4th runner, and the 4th runner flange is attached to the 3rd with some sort of heat pickup tube for the factory choke i assume... check it out. My guess is it fits a 63-66 a body

Thanks,

Aaron

IMO they look like AMC 232/jeep 4.0l headers since the two center tubes meet together.

My two cents

To add to that, the slant only has ONE mounting bolt hole, on the top of, the 3-4 flange.....

That "one" hole would be on the intake, not the exhaust :D Those def. are not Slant headers, I can tell u that.

You are correct!! :oops: I was looking at the head I have in the shop, and didn't count the ports. I am still new to the slant, coming from Pontiac V8s.

The little heat pickup tube was used with Autolite/Motorcraft carburetors with hot air choke, I don't know if others used them as well. It is not Ford headers, they had the pipes on the other side.

Definitely not Slant 6 headers. AMC is a good guess.

Almost all automatic chokes except most '60-up Mopars used a heat tube.

Those appear to be Datsun L series six, for a 240Z maybe.

i bought them at a swap meet from a guy who claims they are mopar.. what i should do is figure out the runner separation measurements. I want to sell them though since im just going to stick to my iron manifold for the original appearance

Here is the manifold off a 200? Jeep with a 4.0 HO inline 6, note the bottom mounting holes on the outsides. I will have to look at my friends AMC 232 but I'm 99% sure his exhaust manifold has the same holes, I know 100% that the ports are the same.

mopar manifolds are still prone to cracking :lol:

the intake manifold:

Hope this helps with the I.D. 'ing process

here is a 232 stock manifold, it has two holes in the top of the center and the two on the outside.

A quick check with some exhaust manifold gaskets will help confirm the application for these headers.
