Horse power drop using early A 273 manifolds

The ports are the same and the outlet diameter is about the same as later manifolds, the problem on the early A manifolds is where the dump flattens out to curl around the steering column. It looks VERY restrictive, much more than the later A manifolds. That's why some real world numbers would be interesting...
I stole this image from dgswinger's for sale ad to illustrate the bottleneck.

going by that magazine there is almost no difference between stock 340 manifolds and Headers be it TTI or hedman shorty headers
