What you have there is a late '66, early '67 manifold. Did that version come on the RO/WO cars. I don't know. The manifold transition occurred sometime in '67 but I don't know when, maybe somebody else does. I do not know the significance of the number that is in the small block on the rear of the manifold and I have never heard of anyone that does.

That is as stated a late 66/early 67 piece. Parts were randomly taken from inventory, there was no set changeover date. That said I've owned 3 67 Hemi cars with their original intakes, two were late November 66 SPD cars, one was a late October 66 SPD, all 3 were St. Louis cars and had the later style Pentastar intake, and I'd bet that most other 67's after November 66 had them as well. That's not to say an older one wasn't used later, it's just less likely, especially as late as the spring of 67 when the R0/W0 cars were first built. I've never seen the foil insulation under a Hemi intake, just a similar style in street/production line big block valley pans. Interesting piece.

Also what does WBAC And M1 mean on the front of the manifold?
Foundry marks. The same WBAC could be found on other similar vintage intakes and cast parts (1965 Hemi cross rams for instance). Some numbers are dates, shift information, and material type (metal type/grade, etc.). I haven't seen any data that will take you much further on those markings.
