This pic is not the best image of the 3-stud intake, but the casting number is visable.
My 292 exhaust manifold has three studs. And, I found a larger header pipe on eBay; 2-1/2. The one on my truck now is 1-1/2”. Hopefully it will run better with a bigger exhaust system and carburetor. If I can find a four barrel manifold, I’ll install one of the Quadrajets I have.
