I need a pair for a '64 Coupe de Ville I recently purchased and posted in the parts wanted section yesterday.

One of the replies asked if '65 manifolds are the same - can anyone confirm one way or another and also whether there were variances between manifolds across different models for either year ?

Thanks,

I believe that the '64-'67 exhaust manifolds are the same (its the intake manifolds that are different) if I am not mistaking.

The passenger side exhaust manifold is 64 only, and is hard to find not cracked. I believe the driver side manifold is 61-64.
The 65-67 manifolds are different because the 64 is an X frame, while 65-67 is a perimeter frame.

Thanks Tim, I'll make sure I source compatible manifolds (somewhere !). The passenger side has been welded and seems ok if not pretty. The driver side has also been welded but has cracked further so I'd rather source a good pair if possible and do the job properly once.
