I have a Holley SD going on one of my engines because my 71 HO intake barely made it out of Dave's SD performance shop fire a few years ago when getting a full port job.
I picked up two more Holley SDs yesterday from a very nice gentleman, I thought is would be interesting to post pics here since they are the two different versions I know of the SD. My memory is blurry but wasnt one made to line up with the shaker hood or something? The carb pad position seems a little off and one is obviously.more open ( less casting) . Can someone shed aome light on this . Just curious. Peter |

Nice! The one that's not cut out around the EGR boss is the first design. I always thought they changed the casting a bit to save on material. I never noticed any other differences. The first design definitely weighs a good amount more than the second.

There are three versions that I know of. I'll look after the show to see if I have pictures of them.

Those manifolds are crying for a bead blasting to look pretty again
![]() I'll have to go in the attic and look at mine. Never been on an engine, got it form Speedway years ago! They also have the W casting mark from Winters foundry like most of the factory GM aluminum manifolds.
