    Those might be for a 302 but the design is not specific for a Mav?Comet.. I would bet they might not fit because ours are flatter as you may have noticed.

    I was afraid of that, finding that Maverick parts are harder to find these days. Thanks for the advice Blugene.

    The drivers side Maverick manifold points down at an angle. I think those would run the exhaust straight into the firewall, probably not enough room for them to turn down then...

    I was wondering about that, I did notice the difference in the photos. There are some on the Forum for sale, but there pretty spendy. Plus shipping to AK is going to kill me. Thank you for the input.

    Does anybody know the part #'s I should be looking for?

    From a Lincoln town car? Would the fit? Did you put the 6901's on yet? How hard were they to install? I had one heck of a time taking the old ones off. Ended up cutting them off with a sawsall.
