1970 R/A III exhaust
When I went to look at the 70 Judge I bought I knew it needed a few parts to make 100% #'s matching. 2 of the items in need were the correct r/a III exhaust manifolds. I also knew of a gentleman that I spoke with before buying the Judge told me he had almost everything I needed to get the drivetrain to be #'s matching, including a restored original set of 70 E.M's. He told me that they were off a 70 Judge he had years ago. He found them had them bead blasted and painted with the Eastwood manifold paint.
I bought the manifolds went to put them on and noticed the RH one did not look exactly right. I knew the numbers on the LS were matching but did not check the right at the time of purchase. So after doing some research I learned that the RH manifold is off a 67 r/a goat. The casting number is 9777642-RH. It also has 3 mounting bolt holes to mount to the head.I called the gentleman and he said he would give me my money back, but he did not have the correct 70 RH. He also said he thought it would work just fine on my 70. Will this E.M. work on a 70 R/A III? Will it bolt on correctly? If not does anyone have a 70 RH R/A III E.M. that they would be willing to trade for a R/H 67? Sorry this is so long winded. Just wanted to give details. Thanks
