Steve, my manifold takes a waffle style heater that is secured by two bolts, not just the one. Is this the original you speak of?

Hmmmmmm....... i don't remember the 3x plugs deal, the Rotella nor do I know what a Mary Jane is? Is that lost in the generation gap, or is that a reference to our liberal laws on certain things that are no legal in most states?

Get a confirmation on the bolt to bolt distance on the waffle? There was some variation on the waffle manifolds bolt placement and they're not marked with a maker's name (at least mine isn't)

Goerlich is another almost identical waffle manifold. ONe for sale on Ebay presently?

Steve asked me that question when I called and I had measured before calling, it is seven inches from center bolt to center bolt. So, I'm sure what's coming will fit fine.

I saw that on eBay. I only need the heater placement and not the manifold.

Steve is sending me an original off of the 31 Coupe that Will Rogers had.

Luckily Varcon has been in the pars business for a while. Good to hear you found a good original though. Rod
