Michael, and Tigers,
There has always been much heat, and little illumination on "Authentic"
LAT-1 F4B.
There is a good article, with pictures of versions of a manifold, and
the one that is the only true LAT-1 F4B.

There is other coverage on the LAT pages, as well, from The original LAT
catalog, from "International Automobile Inc." shows the Shelby/Benevides
design, that has been "touched up" with the "Edelbrock" signature logo
and the "F4B". Appears to be the lo-rise, as well, for illustration
purposes. The released version was the hi-rise.
NON were lettered "TIGER".
Ask "the SEARCH" magnifying glass to locate any key words you may want
to read about.
