Hello Everyone,
I am going to be on the hunt for some high performance exhaust manifolds for my 69 charger with 383. I’m looking for high-performance manifolds, part numbers 2806900 and 2843992, and I was wondering how far back the date range would be to be correct for a numbers matching car. This car was really untouched as far as most original parts go except for the exhaust manifolds which are now headers. If I’m going to invest in correct manifolds I want to get the right date range. I realize that the data stamped on the front of the engine near the distributor will tell me when the engine was assembled, but how many weeks back would be acceptable for parts like manifolds? Obviously for my search the bigger the window of time the better, but I don’t want to have manifolds with dates that are to early. I expect that parts could have been cast two or three weeks before the engine was built, but I don’t know how far back to be open to buying. Does anyone have information on this?
Thanks
