Hi, I have an aluminum intake manifold from what I believe is a '34 ford. Note low pump stand flange. The manifold at the top of the picture is from my '36 LB engine. Is this the correct manifold for that engine? Note the vacuum takeoff from the bottom of the carburetor flange.

Several years ago, I bought a similiar intake manifold at a swap meet to get the carb and linkage. It had no numbers on it, so I showed it to several others, and we came to the conclusion that it is probably from a 37-39. I've attached a photo of the manifold. As for the vacuum takeoff on the other manifold, it is for the winshield wipers. The round part is a check valve to control backfires which can damage wiper motors.

The aluminum manifold pictured is 33-36. The aluminum manifold that Super has is 37-39. The difference is the height of the generator mounting flange.

The manifold you show with the vacuum takeoff is probably cast iron and more likely from a 46-48 Ford or Mercury 59AB engine. Also notice the carb base is for the later Chandler Grove and Holley or Ford base not Stromberg as early engines used.

Here is a picture of the intake manifold on my '34. It is different than the ones pictured so far and seems to match the one pictured in the '33-'34 Restoration Manual. The manifold creates a problem with using an alternator because the larger diameter of the alternator case moves the pulley up and requires a longer belt. Longer belts are available, but have the wrong cross-section and ride too high in the pulleys. I need to find a longer than stock belt with the correct profile, change to a generator, or find an intake manifold with a lower generator mount. Advice would be appreciated.

Deluxe 40: I believe you have the authentic correct manifold without the externally visible runners. I revise my thinking on wilmalcolm's aluminum manifold, as being a 35-36 version. Super's 37-39 manifold would solve your mounting problem, albeit at the price of originality. You could then sell wilmalcolm your correct manifold for his 34.

So the aluminum manifold is for a '36 and the cast iron one is from a later engine. I am rebuilding a '36 so this is good news. I also have another manifold which I took off a '36 LB engine. The Green Book says that all passenger manifolds were aluminum and that '36 commercial manifolds were cast iron. The attached image is of my three manifolds. Left to right: 46-48; '36 for a commercial engine; and the aluminum one for a 35/36 engine? This message was edited by wilmalcolm on 11-13-11 @ 3:38 PM

Here is that image that should have been included in the above message

wilmalcolm: I think you've got it pretty close. The only thing I'd add is that the one on the left may be correct for 40-48, and I'd suggest you need to do a little tuck pointing, followed by some parge-coating on the wall in the background.

Top one is cast iron could be 41 and up. Lower one is a 36 manifold. Other guys pic is a true 34 manifold. ken ct.
