Don't worry. Just twist them and go for it. Chances you'll convert the car back to AIR are not valid, and if you do, I have another set of AIR plumbing no one on the planet will ever want as I'm sure others do who removed the same stuff when it became exempt. ER Bill Lessenberry wrote: You

That is a 68-69 396-427 passenger car manifold LH. From what I can see in my pictures it is different. That does not mean it would work. The footnote states it also was used for the 1970 model year. Larry (Z)
