As spoken of before, there is an better exhaust manifold than what came on
the Imperials from 1959 to 1966.
You all know what you have at this time under the hood. And some want
to say the truck manifold is an poor switch because it is of poor dessign to use
on the Imperial. If I wanted to use the manifold that some have the best
knowledge of, I too would stop and search no more.
Please look at the two links attached. Better yet, print the page and
lay the two different examples on a table or desk and look at them.

This is the one that a member states that he has. I would not use it
either.

This one is the exhaust manifold that will increase your power and still appears
as it belongs there when used. This manifold also appears as an later
design evalution of what you have on the Imperial.
At one time era Dodge Truck had an truck called the Custom Sports
Special ( CSS) and an High Performance Package option ( http://benjamin_simons.tripod.com/css/stevebell.html ).
The HPP option could be on any of the Dodge Trucks during that era. The
reason that I even mentioned this is the trucks of this type used the same
exhaust manifold as an Imperial did. They did not use the standard era
truck exhaust manifold that one of the Imperial members keeps relating his
knowledge on ( refresh with the first link above ).
Most of the CSS Truck drivers are as detailed to only having the correct
manifolds on their ride as we are on our ride. These people are very proud
of their truck and will keep the 1966 and earlier Imperial style exhaust
manifold on their truck instead of using the better 1972-1978 manifolds even
though they know about them.
I believe this is enough of this on the Imperial site and if you have any
questions about how to use them or why to use them, contact others
directly.
