skipsmustang1965 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I want to put a '32 Chevy Intake manifold on my '29 so I can switch it over to a downdraft carb. Do I also need to swap the exhaust manifold out for a '32 or are they the same Exhaust manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stvaughn Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I am not familiar with the Chevrolet setup but most engines in this era had the intake manifold attached to the exhaust manifold for heat transfer to warm up the carburetor for cool weather operation. If that’s the way Chevy did it then you’ll need both. I have no idea if the 32 manifold will fit the 29 engine though. Hopefully a Chevy guy will chime in with the answer.

chistech Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The exhaust and intake are a two piece assembly. You will need both. There is a VCCA member going to Hershey that I believe he will have one for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipsmustang1965 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Great - thanks for the info! Do you know the space/vendor # of the VCCA member so I can locate him at Hershey? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chistech Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Sorry, just saw this tonight. Did you find a manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipsmustang1965 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 We searched Wednesday through Saturday but no luck. Found a few for 37-39 manifolds but nothing for '32-'33. I did sign up as a VCCA member and met some really nice people there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13CADDY Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ted, did you show your Chev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chistech Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 If you mean in Hershey, No. My Chevy though a complete frame off and done fairly correct, has a few high point loss items. The paint on my Chevy is an original 31' paint code of #81. Colors are fawn brown, coffee cream, and swamp holly orange. While it is a correct code, code 81 was never offered in a closed car like mine so it would be a major point deduction. I have a rear view mirror with a clock in it, white wall tires, and a few other small items that would really put it out of consideration by Chevy standards. I will be bringing my 32' Olds next year if all goes well finishing up the restoration and hopefully, it will be hard on that car to find anything outside of OEM. Sorry for the small hijacking of this thread by this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
