What are the casting numbers of the exhaust manifolds?

Well the right side is the same as any '67-'69 383 A-body 2863900. The left side for 440 is 3462017. The M-codes used a spacer on the right side between the exhaust manifold and the head pipe which brought both sides down to where the 383 exhaust would be in height. Therefore the standard 383 head pipes were used on the 440 M-codes.

I have some spacers made, but hopefully will be having more made.


I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

Count me in on a spacer! I have NOS 383 pipes, so all I need now is a 017...

I would be interested in one of those spacers for my car too if you have any extra. I don't know the exact dimensions but I wouldn't think there would be much to them. What, 3/4" thick and the oval pattern with two 1/2" holes? Anyway, let us know if you make any extras. Much appreciated.

We have the spacer kits in stock if anybody is in need of one.
http://www.accurateltd.com/A-Body-Spacer-Plate-Kit_p_341.html
P.S. A spacer kit can also be used on the left side for a 440 application if a 383 (002 ,729 casting) manifold is used. This might flip somebody out that is "anal" but guess what? We sell a lot of these kits for that reason and we are in business to supply what people want. And if you don't like the included bolts-use something else.
Side note: 67-68 big block a-body cars used a two piece head pipe that was welded together. These were 2.25" halfway back then 2" to the mufflers.
One piece head pipes are available with the ugly dents for 1969 as an option but you will need to specify this when ordering.

Dave, Mike again, Have you heard what size battery is used and color caps? My build sheet said the smaller one (24) but i think they changed it to the big one (27) with the 440?

I can't say for sure with the A-bodies, but I doubt they would have put the 27 battery in them, since they left the yellow cap 24 in the A12 B-bodies.

Hi Guys,

The right battery is the group 24 Yellow Cap from the factory. I have not seen a group 27 Red Cap in any M-Code, A-bodies. I have the Yellow Cap in my car.

Only battery EVER in an A-Body is a Group 24, that is except for the forklift battery they put in the Super Stock cars...

Tom? WOW, i thought i was doing something SPECIAL for the M-code A-body guys with a small guy, private run of the spacer that MOST people don't even know existed. NOW you made them?? How many people out there really gotta have them? It's more an anal thing, because that's the way the cars came....(PS your bolts are wrong)

I guess my QUESTION is why would you go thru the trouble to make the spacer that you REALLY don't need on these cars, because a lot of cars have custom bent pipes anyways and few would ever be sold, but your BIG company made incorrect 2 piece head pipes????????????

I don't have a lot of pictures of M-cudas. There were none with the registry when i took over. I have some from like '04 when m-cars were in building Y @ Carlisle(likely film pics). And some from MY/Carlisle's reunion in '09. I see the T5 car above, that was at Carlisle in '09, it has a 6-pak with triangular air cleaner....he got 1 of the trophies in our class, peoples choice, i think they liked the 6-pak, very nice car.

2nd quote...what green fastback are you talking about?


Below is 1 of only 5 white fastbacks in the registry. 1 of 4 with black interior, the other 1 has green interior.
