Sal in my opinion I did not in any way make it sound like you were trying to deceive someone. I could have said "hey them ain't HI-PO manifolds. Are you trying to crook someone? But I didn't. Also if you also notice I never once mentioned your name or handle nor the type of parts that were question nor provided a link to the for sale thread anywhere in this thread. I could have easily done all that to point a finger at you, but I didn't. My intent in this thread was just to find out how people felt on the matter of speaking up. This thread was purely generic in how I wrote it.
To be perfectly clear about my original intent concerning the ad, I was interested when I saw them listed because you listed them as "Hi-PO" manifolds and I'm looking at buying a project I need some for. Since the only Hi-Po manifolds that were made were 68-70's that's what I thought you were advertising until I clicked on the thread. When I read you said they were 73 manifolds my exact words in my original question were
The White book may call them Hi-Po manifold but it's incorrect. I have what looks like the exact same set of manifolds out in the shed and they did in fact come off a 318 so in that time era I believe they were the same. But that's not proven, just my theory. Since you brought it up can you prove that in fact 318 manifolds are different, other than the part number#.
BTW: On a final note, your parts are in very nice condition probably worth the price your asking, but that wasn't what I questioned anyway.
