Edelbrock or Weiand are your best bet. The stock 1968 cast iron 289 4-V intake manifold is a rare item and they're heavy anyway. I had one years ago but sold it and bought the Edelbrock...
: If I am wrong and I DO get to keep my Mav, I need a 4bbl intake for a 302.....

: : The auto shop teacher in my department arranged to have a Lincoln Mercury Dealership donate it's obsolete parts to the school. Figuring it would give the students an opprtunity to learn the FoMoCo parts codes and parts identification, we accepted their donation. That's the good news. The bad news is that we didn't anticipate them donating $47,000/THREE truck loads worth of parts. Anyhow, we need to sort through the stuff and keep what's useful to the school and do something with the rest.
: : As an avid Maverick/Mustang buff, I have started to put aside any 1977 and earlier parts. I know that part of FoMoCo part numbers state the decade/year (C9 = 1969), what do the second set of letters relate to? And are the remaining numbers of the code organized in some fashion, as well?
: : If all goes well, we'll sort through the 100 or so boxes in the upcoming week or two and be able to let you know what's there.
