Any one know what John Mummert's aluminum intake manifold clamps sell for?    I looked on his web site price sheet, but did not see a price listed.  Has anyone actually used any of these?    I would like to hear what you think about them.  Thanks, ----Jim

John.  Thanks for pointing out the difference on the E code intake clamps.  While I did know that the ’57 dual quad intake required the earlier and longer clamps, I was not aware of how many different styles of those clamps were actually used on the Y until I went digging through the parts bins.  I do have an original 1957 Thunderbird E code engine sitting here that does have the correct intake clamps on it which confirms what you had already mentioned.  I went back through my parts bins and have revised the picture of intake clamps (turtles) and this time added the lengths for each.  I’ve also numbered them so that anyone that has questions about a particular one can refer to it by number.  #6 clamp on the picture would be the clamp style used on the 1957 dual quad intake manifolds.  The #1 clamp is the aluminum Blue Thunder clamp while the #4 clamp is cast iron and found on the 1963-1964 292 engines.

Ted and all.  I had never registered on FoMoCo having used soooo many different variations of intake manifold hold-down clamps on the y-block engine series!  GooD Grief!
