How can I tell if an early 4BBl intake manifold is for a k-code car. I am assuming that the A-code stangs had the cast iron stove tops, but what are the distinguishing characteristics of the K-code manifold? Do the A-code manifolds in very good condition have any value. A local guy has one and says it came off of a K-code but it does not look like it to me, I think it is an A-code. He wants $100.00 for it, but I think that is too much. ------------------

first off why? Second alluminum has more perks lighter, cooler fuel air charge, and better flow and atomization. I thought that the intakes were the same but im not for sure on this one.Bruce

you can find the info in it for sure but
I think they are the same thing. Only difference would be the date codes for a 65 66 might be diffrent. The shelby intakes are diffrent but not the A to K code.

Not for my car, for another guy that wants a stock K-code manifold for his car and asked me if I knew of any. Heard about this one but I am not knowledgeable enough about them to tell if it is for a K-code or not. ------------------

Here are the identifying numbers off of it.(1)Casting number is...C50E-9425-A (2)Date code is...4F1 Do these help at all to identify or dis-prove that this came off of a K-code car? ------------------

You can't. They are the same intake. ------------------

I have not as of yet gotten the job, I did not apply for a management position as none are being offered at this time, but even if they were I would not apply for that position. I would want more experience in this field with this company (store) before I did that, I would not walk in cold into a new field and try to fake my way through it and fall flat on my face, it would not be fare to the company nor to me. I have no problem starting out where ever they want me and prove myself and work my way up to management. I have to go for another interview this Friday, a panel interview, then if I get past that one I have to do yet another interview with the store general manager, then from there I do not know what the procedure would be. ------------------

I used to give them away. Then I could get about $25 for them. Now if I need one everyone seems to think that they are worth their weight in gold.I still would not give more than $50 for one even if I needed it. ------------------

Out in the Philippines, there's strong demand for 289 / 302 4V intakes minus the engines. Try finding one when you want it. I could sell a dozen tomorrow for $100 a piece. Same with 4V carbs.

The manifolds are the same. On a side note, it always amazes me how people think that you can get more for parts if you claim it came from a performance model... i.e. front bumper from a fastback, wiper switch from a K-code or oil pump from an 4bbl 289.  If they are all the same, it doesn't matter.Daniel

I've heard stories about Mopar restorers scouring the globe for fuel pumps and filters with the correct production dates. I don't know if they're true, but I like the story about the guy looking for a '68 car with original air in its tires so he can suck it out and put it in his

Yes, some Mopar guys do try to find all correct date coded parts for concoarse judging. I've seen a few Mustangs the same way. NOS tire air brings a pretty penny ------------------

FWIW when I was 18 or so, I ran the Iron 4 barel intake for a while, then swapped to the twisted Torker intake. The iron 4 barrel ran at least as good on a 289 with the old OHO juice cam, header, and 650DP carb.
