Is this correct or not? Also, I'm looking for the guy who was selling the spacers that fit between the Manifold outlet and the end of the headpipe. I was told he goes by, "Big Block Dave". I PM'd him but got no response, so does anyone know who sells these?

Dave Goodwin has the spacers, look for the M-Code Cuda post below in the Restoration forum! Last edited by Rhinodart; 09/06/13 12:06 AM.

I wondered whether someone had changed the main leaves or something because I have some Swinger 340 springs and they have the bigger 2" eyes. I can't tell anything from the parts book, I guess because they're listed as an assembly with the bushing installed, and apparently that changes the part number. Thank you for your help!

I got mine from Accurate LTD, it's functional but really just 2 flanges mated together. http://www.accurateltd.com/A-Body-Spacer-Plate-Kit_p_341.html

I have 3 69 Swingers laying around and they all have the smaller eyes as far as I remember, I will have to check to make sure. The repop that Dave makes is spot-on.

I was unaware that the 440 A bodies used spacers for the exhaust. Years ago, to many years ago, I had a 69 383 GTS. The original 383 engine did not last long and I put a 440 in it. The stock exhaust fit just fine with no clearance issues. I did not have issues with the power steering also. This spacer is news to me. I guess I can still learn something at my age.

The spacer is only needed on the passenger manifold when using the 440 only driver's side manifold.
