Pretty cosmic as I'm sitting here watching The Munsters as I read this. Haha That sure looks like a Creitz manifold. Had one many moons ago. Nice timepiece find there man.
Here a little jingle to go along with your munstermobile... I see some funky velvet elvis creations down the road with the new supply of vintage vellllveeett...looks like you have a number of things to bring it right up to 1964...cool car you must be happy...have fun...
It's personal opinion but I would find some fenders, ditch the velvet and drive it. The Creitz manifold is basically a single plane or low plenum that only works at high RPM. A dual plane mid rise like on a 350HP 327 would be much better for all around street use.
That's a great score!!! Neat old Hot Rod. I agree on the fenders. I feel 4 doors (especially 34's) look better fully hooded and fendered. Just my opinion. If you go fendered, you might bolt on black fenders for starters to see if it 'works', so you can retain that lacquer body paint. Consider having the maroon velvet dyed black. Knew a local guy that bought a dark red 32 3/w Coupe that had an early 70's diamond crushed velvet interior done in bright green/gold !. Had it dyed black and it really made the interior subtle instead of (as he put it) like sitting in a coffin. Had a Creitz dual quad wall hanger too but sold it off a couple of years ago to raise $ for another project.
