I recently grabbed these manifolds on sale and am confused what year / application they may have been for. I have read conflicting information on the part number and years, and the head-to-manifold flange bolt count, for those years. Hope that makes sense.

It appears they are RA3 GTO manifolds from 1969 (per Wallace on the RA / HO manifold descriptor sections). See below and attached pic.

.............but then it also shows the same part number used in 1970 on the broader Wallace listing. See below.

I have also read the 3-bolt head flange was only utilized in 1970.

So, are they 1970 GTO RA3 manifolds?

Thank you

To further clarify, these were NOT bought on this forum and I am VERY happy with my purchase regardless what they are. There is no conflict in play.

I simply wish to know the origin.

the casting numbers to me look like oem - the repops carry casting numbers but depending on the source often have additional details like three bolt flanges on both sides...

Yes, the casting appears OEM.

The idiosyncrasy is the 1969 part numbers on a supposedly 1970 only 3-bolt head flange layout.
