Correct.

Except - I won't offer either unless I can offer both. Both molds are available to me...so I've been told. We'll see.

I have just added both "early" and "late" versions of reproduction intake boots made to the highest standard.

Hi,
I don't think so that 82 would fit to 79.
Because it is longer in size than 79.
Thanks

This was discussed before in detail. Most know it, but here it is again. Difference is mainly in shape. Wider on top, narrow on the bottom to make bank of carbs sit more horizontal. Prolink manifold on the left, 79-80 on the right.
