Will....I'm thinking you still have an original-type early flathead in your car, and NOT the later 8BA-type engine. That manifold is for the later 8BA-type ('49-'53) engine. Although it will bolt-on to an earlier engine, the crankcase ventilation is designed to function differently, and there is no good reason that I see to go thru the necessary mods to use that "beauty-challenged" run-of-the-mill manifold. Save yur money on THAT one! But WTF do I know? DD
