    I recently purchased a 235 Chevrolet split manifold and I am trying to install it in my 50 Chevrolet coupe . The added exhaust port is facing down dead center of the throttle linkage .( meaning throttle linkage is in the way ) and looks like its not gonna work with out major bending ImageUploadedByH.A.M.B.1383802720.046010.jpg What's weird is I know guys have been doing this for years , and I know it's a tight fit . Anyone have any pics or advice

    All depends on the design of the mani's. Most guys run the Fentons without any issue because the way they are designed but I have heard alot of bad things about clearance issues with some of the cheapies like the ones Speedway sells.
