Oh excellent Dartwizer!!!! The more important measurement is between the shock towers so to speak. If you look at some of the previous posts (or links from others) you'll notice that the passenger's side manifold barely clears along the inside of the fender well. So it's the width of the engine compartment near where the center of the manifold would be situated. As you can see in the pic of my '69 Barracuda I have plenty of room for the 360 magnum manifolds like the ones I sell. From what I have read a LATE 60s Large Hole 340 driver will fit on the Early A driver's side (manual steering) with very few problems so I'm not as concerned with the driver's side. Anyway, if you could take numerous measurements to get the shortest distance between the shock tower it would be great. In fact if someone with a 67/68/69 and up A body would also measure their engine compartment width it would also help with the myth (fact) that Early A body engine bays are more narrow than 67 and up cars. At least we would have a hard number to work with. As more members submit measurements we could we an average because I know there was some variation??
Thanks a million, I was starting to think that early A owners didn't have any interest in better exhaust. The only reason I'm going through all this trouble is that I have had so many requests (at least 10-12) from early A owners about the large hole manifolds I sell and I can never give them a definitive answer except, "other members have actually done it".
