I keep seeing the stock 4 bbl. intake manifolds listed with C XX E (XX being
40, 50, 60 etc.) numbers. The manifold on my Tiger with a non-stock 5 bolt
289 is DI JE-8425-AA. I'm just curious can anyone tell me (or point me to)
information regarding it's original application. Thanks, Tom Witt B9470101
