Actually a M/T over the counter 2-4 intake for 55-64 pontiac heads.If it had a 1 for the last missing number it would indeed be a factory 61-62 421 SD 2-4 intake.Tom

They work pretty good for a factory SD type intake. Tom V.

M/T Intake

How about that! I didn't know the way to ID the difference was that missing last digit. I just thought it was a factory flaw. Interesting!

Found 1 of those intakes (with a 1) at a gas station in St. Louis back in 1966. It had a pair of 409 chebby carbs on it. Emptied my wallet & Paid $75 for it. Sold it a few years later & got my money back. Little did I know.
Please don't tell me what they are worth now. Aw go ahead.

I was going after the Bath Tub intake; when I picked the bath tub up it was sitting on a piece of plywood. Under the plywood was one of these factory 2x4 intakes. I never even knew it was there. K

Mickey was casting up a bunch of Pontiac Parts in that time frame.
The intake IS ALUMINUM and a high quality aluminum. The M/T version performs as well as the OEM SD version and is many $$$ less to purchase when you find one at a swap meet. Another way to tell is that the M/T version had provisions to route the cross-over water thru two different circuits (to match the head water passage opening) They used cup plugs to seal the non used openings.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
