: : I am looking for an Exaust Manifold for my 1974 Comet, while searching, I have heard that ONLY a 1974 manifold will fit...I am pretty sure that the manifold I find has to come from a comet with A/C, but not sure if ONLY the 74 will fit..That doesn't sound right to me but I'm not sure... Anyone know???
: : (74 Comet, 250 in-line 6cyl with A/C)
: : Thanks!!!!!

: Well, I'm looking in my interchange book and it makes a difference if you have thermactor emissions. If you do, your stuck. You must use a 74 comet or maverick manifold. If you don't, the manifold from a mustang, montego or torino with the 250-6 will fit. The book says nothing about AC. Unfortunately, most Mustangs and torinos have V-8's from those years. Maybe it's time to fabricate. Clifford Headers, even?
: Good Luck.
BTW, I should add that all the manifolds that were listed under Torino, etc, that interchanged were out of 1974 models only.
