My dad passed away a month after he bought this but it says 64 GTO but has a custom 5 speed with 4 wheel disk brakes. 389, just got the manifold for the trip power

That intake pictured is not a 1964, it’s a 1957 or 1958 that won’t fit your 1964 heads.

Note the 3 small flanges, only those earliest of Tri-Power intakes used the small body Rochester carbs for all 3. The 1959 - 1965 intakes use the small center carb and the large base outer carbs.

Thread that helps identify different year Tri-Power intakes:

So I guess my next question I guess would be, would it work to replace and match the heads or should I just get the original 64 389 intake manifold. Thanks b man
