I have a set of the 63-64 manifolds. How do I tell if they are reproduction parts?
Thanks, JB

I've never seen 63-4 reproductions. someone did reproduce 65 ones for a while. Are they that nice? Hard to find original ones that aren't pitted or welded somewhere or even a matched set for that matter.

I assumed there were re-pops made. If not then these are NOS pieces. I’ll wait for more responses,(hopefully).
Thanks

I've got a set that are like new, maybe you can see if there are differences.
I'll take some measurements and more detailed pictures.

I, too, have never heard of repros. Shorties have been reproduced, and the later Gal versions, but not the '63-'64, so far as I am aware.

Here are some detailed pictures I sent. Jay's book said they weighted 65# but my set came in at 56# (bathroom scale)
The pair I have are a C2 and a C3 so the lettering is much different between the drivers side and passengers. Also how to decipher the date? 10 8 3
The two that are rusty are pictures from the Web that I downloaded because they have a much different casting shape. Were these really early? The cylindrical shape on the passengers side and the larger window on both sides.
