I'm on my phone so I can't tell what the manifold is...nothing stands out yelling Siamese ... then again I broke my glasses yesterday .......I'll pop up a photo of a 56 odd manifold that I've had in molasis , should be able to tell by that
Posibly a machiened up distillate manifold to get the exhaust to fit through the cards or some odd Landy thing

As I said I painted over my block numbers.... but for them to be ledgible after all the block paint had been dissolved away over the years from over top of it is a recommendation for that paint lol

Mate has started on the wheel rims & straightened & painted the tail gate. Also fitted new dist cap & wires.
I don't know all the nitty gritty on the restoration , just what he sends me by text.

John sent these to me yesterday

He has finished repairing the bulk head & has top coated it & is now cleaning the 50 years of dirt & grease off the gear box before opening it to have a look in side.
