My '69 Executive exhaust manifold (passenger side) has a crack in it... I've got the 400 2-bbl options. Frank's Pontiac Parts has a pair listed as excellent condition for $375, marked as compatible with 69 Firebird or 69-70 full size or GP. No engine size is mentioned in their ad, just "V8".

Any other suggestions on where to check for exhaust manifold replacements?

All the V8 exhaust manifolds are the same no matter what the cubic inch size of the engine.

Sent you a PM.

b-man for the win! (He had an extra matching set and we made a deal.) For future reference, I'm still interested in other parts suppliers suggestions in addition to Frank's (for used) and Ames (for new).

California Pontiac Restoration Parts (CPR) is another source for NOS parts. https://www.pontiacparts.net Anyone know if Kurt Kelsey in Iowa is still in the old Pontiac parts business?

Mostly true but A bodies use a different left-hand manifold with the dump in back instead of in the center as done on the B, F and G bodies. This was due to the A body having a cross member under the center of the engine rather than the front.

Understood.

My post was referring to his particular vehicle as far as engine size is concerned.
