OEM 69 RA manifolds
 
I have come across a very nice set of RA IV manifolds, pt#s 9794035 and9797075. Guess I'm wondering if these are still being sought after or are the reproduction manifolds better material and quality.
I'm a 64-65 guy so not very knowledgeable about these years!!

Thank you

They are definitely desirable. There's a whole thread going on about the difficulty of finding any right now.

Hi Greg. Give me a link please. I have searched, but not found much.

THANKS

Bill

Original RAIV parts are worth a lot of money!! Yes, reproductions are available but normally are not to the quality and fit for an original part for many reasons. If the manifolds you have are clean and crack free, they are worth big bucks. Don't give them away!!!

No cracks. Will clean up great. I guess I am asking, OEM or reproduction?

THANKS

Factory manifolds, especially RA manifolds, are prone to cracking. Reproduction manifolds use a more ductile iron and are much more crack resistant.
