RE: IML: HP Manifolds do not fit Imperial

["Rob McCall" <Rob_Mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kenyon,

The HP manifolds I have for my '67 are the C-body HP ones.  They are rear
dump, not center.  They look very similar to the upswept B-body HP manifolds
that are available reproduction from Year One.  YO is selling the pair for
$299.  I believe the outlet on the C-body piece is angled slightly different
than the B/E-body piece, but the B/E one may work as long as it is not
emptying into the steering column.  The price for the repro pair seems
reasonable to me, but I might just be jaded from hunting down expensive used
parts...

Hooker used to have a set of long tube headers that fit the fuselage
C-bodies.  They may fit your '72 Imperial.  TTI also makes a long tube
C-body header.  I have a set of their small block on my Barracuda and am
very happy with them.  They are not cheap, and the ceramic coating is even
more.  If it is a freshly rebuilt motor and the cam needs to be broken in,
DO NOT USE CERAMIC HEADERS FOR ENGINE BREAK-IN.  You will destroy the pricey
coating.  

I'm not sure where Corona is in relation to you, but it might be worth
checking out TTI.  Otherwise search out a set of the C-body HP manifolds.
