I was cleaning up my parts shed today and found a couple of new old stock exhaust manifolds, can anyone help by identifying them.

The numbers stamped on the top of both are as follows.

C.S
307049

Not sure if they are Hudson or could possibly be AMC as they have an AMC tag on them.

Any help appreciated.

Got pictures? Most of us would recognize a casting more readily by appearance vs. casting numbers.

When AMC was formed, all part numbers started with a 5, and that number you gave starts with a 3 So should be a Hudson part, send a picture and that will help, or hope Alex jumps in. Walt.

As they said - pictures.

Les, that number is in the range of part numbers in the Jet parts list, but not listed. As was Hudson's frustrating practise, they often had different numbers on the actual part than what was in the book.

If, in fact, 307049 is even a part number. Does not show up in the 1948-1954 Master Parts Catalog. I also looked up both intske and exhaust manifold and that number is not for either one.

As mentioned above, a picture would help a lot. I would say this is a casting number - probably during the late years in Detroit. Most likely for a Jet 202 if the outlet is toward the front of the manifold.

See if this works.

Looks ok.

The blue paint is overspray from the workshop they were stored in and are dirty from years of sitting .

Well it looks like a 232-262-308 manifold note the choke heat tube hole and the second blank spot for the second carb option

Can anybody else cofirm what Tallent R is correct, not that I doubt his word cause I have no idea.

I'll second a stepdown manifold Les, and it is a stepdown one, not the Hash variety.

Yup, it's from a stepdown 6. The raised pad on the right side of the manifold in the second (bottom side) photo could be a date code.

That will fit 232-262 and 308's from 48 to 54 with a 2 barrel carburetor. If that is NOS, it's worth good money, as Bill Albright use to say, I have a pile of them and all are cracked at number 3 and 4 cylinders. Walt.

Thanks to all who replied, now all I have to do is find a home for them.

G'Day Walt,

I don't think I can do much this side of Christmas, but straight after I'll clean them up, pack them and get a price to ship, not sure how much it would be from Aust, if reasonable would you want it air mail or sea mail, sea mail takes a fair while to arrive.

Not sure on what they are worth at this stage, aren't you the guy who said they were worth big money.LOL

Regards.Les.P.

OOOPs!!!!

Not to worry, I'm not here to make a motza on these, just need them to go to someone who can use them and not sit on my shelves doing nothing.
