Haha the Carlton... :waytogo: I have a set of manifolds that are similar but I was told they were stainless. Not sure if I buy that or not? I looked at mine and I could see a possibility of low low quality stainless but "bung holes" were rusty. I tried to come up with a better choice of words I promise. I'll try and find them when I get a chance.

I tend to believe the piping section is stainless just because it's not rusted at all. The flanges are rusty though :dunno:

I've been debating whether or not to blast them and lay some paint on them. Or leave them as is since it's not a show truck.

Yeah they're kind of odd... You better blast them and paint them. If they turn out good I might dig mine out of the scrap pile and do something with them.
 
If I paint them, I paint them right. Blast them and cook on some Eastwood manifold paint.

The last thing I want is some manifolds with paint halfway peeling off.

Does anyone know what kind of collectors go on these? I had some header collectors in the garage and the bolt pattern is different?

I think they take a donut and just a common gm "flange" type of thing.

the flanges are flat so I don't think they use a donut. I'm seeing a bunch of different flanges listed now that I look deeper. I'll have to measure tonight and figure out which ones I need to order.

probably order some 2.5" mandrel bends so I can start routing some piping too.
