I am hoping somebody can help me ID this Flathead Intake Manifold. I am out of my depth on this. (Pretty ignorant actually) I recognize this as a Flathead Intake and maybe 1933? But it is odd. I am mystified by the butterfly valve in the Carb base, and the piping on the under side. My thinking on the piping was that somebody added a NOS (Nitrous) system to it? Or is this some sort of Aftermarket / Homegrown Fuel Injection system? The only marking on the intake is a circle with a "1" in it. Any ideas what this is, or isnt??? Thanks in advance!!!!!!

I have never seen plumbing like that on an intake manifold but my guess is that it is for a '32-'33 Ford equipped with a single barrel Detroit Lubricator carburetor....

It's a heavily-modified '33 manifold. None of the additional components are production parts with the possible exception of the butterfly valve taken from the base of a Detroit Lubricator carburetor.

I wonder if that was the "Fish" system guaranteed to get 100 MPG ? As the story goes Mr Fish, his invention and his Ford vanished from the planet. Most likely he got cement shoes and is at the bottom of the ocean. ?????
