L-79 Intake Manifold

[Big Block Bill]

Help!

I need a 65-68 L-79 Intake Manifold with no prior cracks, repairs, or welds for a Day 2 1959 Corvette Restoration. Dates not important.

Thanks,

65 is a "461" part numbered intake manifold. 66-67 carried a "490" part number and 68 L79 intakes are cast iron quadrajet intakes.

I appreciate the info. I was not aware the 1968 was cast iron. As long as it is Aluminum, and has a provision for an oil fill tube, and a divorced choke thermostat, either part # will work.

Thanks,

A 68 Z 610, 69 Z 472, 70 2110, or over the counter 2116 should also work for you. The 2110 and the 2116 will need the oil fill blank popped out.

The 3844461 does not have a divorced thermostat tower.

Doesn´t all #116 intakes have the oil filler hole like this one has ?

[SuperNovaSS]

No, I don't think so. This Z on Ebay has a 2116 intake and it has the cast in blank.

I've got a 3972110 manifold I'd part with...

I have a 461 intake with the fill tube that is perfect pm me if you are interested. Rich

Day 2 would be correct with an Elderbrock C3B it was a copy of the factory style intake, have that one too

Jim.

[Big Block Bill]

Sorry for stating Day 2. What I should have said was we are installing a complete 1967 327 / 350 in a 1959 Corvette and we have everything but the intake. We need an original (now that I have been corrected) 1966 or 1967 aluminum GM intake that has provisions for an oil fill tube & a boss on the passenger side to accept an original choke thermostat.

Thanks,
