Thanks...I can confirm 100% that these manifolds were not built for Bristol as I have another engine ( wish I knew what car it came from) that has exactly the same manifold. It's the one I am using but managed to crack the flange were it meets the down pipe. Fixable, but I would like a good one.
I have e-mailed Spencer Lane Jones as well as the Chrysler Historical office.
I gave them the 5 casting numbers I have, to see if that will help to identify the source.
Also note that a 66 Dodge Charger uses a poly engine as their base engine.

Thor if you can scan the page where your tune up book shows "our" manifold that would be of some help.
Thanks to all,

Anne

PS just got a reply from Spencer Lane Jones 165 pounds in steel and here is a picture

It would be interesting if they have any information on the numbers from the Bristol parts list.

Got a reply from Chrysler and unfortunately none of the period paper files were transcribed, so Bristol data of the period seems to have been lost.
