I just confirmed the correct exhaust manifolds on my '56 Tbird and was surprised at the number of different p/n's for the same basic engine.

Actually it was not all that confusing. There was a build sheet that followed the car and a buck tag mounted that gave most assembly codes.
Where it really hit the fan was at WIXOM ASSEMBLY with the 58 LINC, BIRD and EDSEL. The EDSEL was also assembled in both FORD and MERC plant lines so that was where they lost most quality control.
