    Can anyone tell me about this injection manifold? I'm told it's early Corvette. Most stuff I find online doesn't quite look like this. Is it Rochester? OEM? Any idea what year?

    The "base" is early Corvette (primarily anyway) Rochester fuel injection, with adapters for the stack injection. Seems like a lot of work over just starting with a complete Hilborn or Enderle setup. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

    Here's a pic of a 59 FI system on EBAY. The base plate/adapter plate in your photo has been heavily modified for something.

    Thanks guys. I thought it looked different. Any idea on what the conversion parts may be? It looks like it is just bolted to the OEM lower intake, similar to how the OEM upper plenum bolts on.

    like stated above stack or mechanical injection adapted to the manifold. Could be Hilborn or Algon, look on the upper part to see if it has any markings for identification.

    probably an scott unit... he made bolt on injectors for the corvette injection units... extremely rare if it is.

    Any idea on the value of something like this? It obviously would need plenty of work to be runnable.

    It's a Scott's unit. Has # S-5562 on the upper pieces.
