Jerry, If you don't have any luck finding new manifolds, then an option is sending them to Crow Custom Cast. https://www.castmetalwelding.com/ They aren't cheap but they will restore the old ones just like new or even better. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Are you looking for original replacements or something that will work? You could replace those 45 year old manifolds with newer pyramid style Chevy manifolds and risers and have new manifolds that'll last a long time. BTW ......somebody in your first post a while back asked if you were sure it was a 75 Tique, since CC didn't start painting that on the sides till the 76 model year. If you post your HIN from the top right corner of the transom, it'll start that Tique HIN discussion all over again  And maybe your boat will have gotten slightly younger

One can't swing a cat without hitting SBC manifolds. Only 150 , check that 300 pr https://boston.craigslist.org/sob/bpo/d/braintree-350-manifolds-and-elbow/7222284795.html ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing."

Jerry, FYI, Correct Craft is the manufacturer. A Ski Tique is a model. How long is the boat? That may give us an idea of whick model you have. Also, post some pictures as that will give us an idea as well. BTW, you caps lock is on. There's no need to shout!

JERRY I GUESS YOU CAN THINK IT'S WHATEVER YEAR YOU WANT AND THAT TITLES ARE NEVER WRONG, BUT IF YOU POST THE HIN NUMBER, THERE'S A REAL GOOD CHANCE THAT IT WAS BUILT IN THE LATER MONTHS OF 1975 AS A 1976 MODEL.
