Real sweet deal. Do you have a picture of it. Seen plenty for the v-8's but not one for the 6's.

Here are some photos. I also got two carbs with it.

Check out some of the stuff they have on EBAY. They have one for a mopar flathead and one for a chevy 6cyl. Not to mention one for a hudson 6cyl.

An excellent find. Those things are very hard to get anymore. What kind of carbs are on it?

VERY NICE
Just change out that copper line if you are going to use it though.

If you are going to use the manifold and want a nice appearance, use stainless. You can always make up an AN flex line as well. Or get a length of 5/16 or 3/8 steel brake line. Make up the replacement to match the current copper line Copper work hardens and becomes brittle from engine vibrations and can split. :eek:

Others may have differing opinions but for safety's sake, copper is never used on fuel or brake lines.:D

That has always been my opinion too.

I agree with the copper line thought, as i was always told that it would get brittle and crack,but i know for a fact and have seen copper line on the fuel lines of my dads old tractors and they have run for thousands and thousands of hours.
just my own observation

Neat manfold, had an Edmumds on my 48 Studebaker, does yours have a water line running through it to heat it.If I made a right turn it would starve for gas, made adaptors to tuned the carbs 90 degrees, ran fine. I think it was for a round d round car.

You are correct in that many farmers used what was availble, and they didn't worry. You have to remember that a tractor trundles across a field at 10 miles an hour max. If you have a fire, you bail off and watch it burn. Try that on the New Jersey Turnpike on a nice Sunday afternoon in June after a car event. In NY State, it isn't legal - and if you have a problem, your insurance company will probably say - "Have a nice day sir, you are not covered".
Gasoline fires in engine compartments are not fun - the reason I gave up on single feed 4160 style Holley carbs.:CRY:
