Most, if not all, of the factory MW single-four manifolds were developed for use in Nascar which had a single carb only restriction.

Thank you John. I am having a very hard time finding info on this intake. Someone said there were 37 of them produced and I find that VERY hard to believe. There is an article from Cars magazine (1967ish) that called the single four MW intake a "DragMaster" and identified it as a "rare" intake "ideal for the street". It would make more sense to me that is was a NASCAR intake. One thing that puzzles me is the casting is often ID'd as a 1964 model. Would 1964 not be a HEMI? Did they still run MW heads on the ovals in 1964? I guess it could just end up back in the basement where I found it for the next 25 years. I tried to search for non-Hemi circle track cars from '64 and didn not come up with much. Thanks again.

Per the Vehicle Identification chapter in the 2010 mopar performance catalog, your manifold is described as Cast: 2406185, Metal: Alum-B, Year: 1964, Body: B, Engine: 426 1-4, Remarks: Max 1-PL Short.
Don't know if this helps any.

I believe the Dragmaster manifold had their name/logo along with a Mopar part number. I've seen two different style MW single-four manifolds, one had an air gap under the runners.
The Hemi wasn't introduced until mid-year '64 so the Wedges were used for most of the model year...even after the introduction of the Hemi the Wedges still ruled until the Hemi was "debugged".

I agree! You don't see too many low slung stock car style builds. I saw the following in the race section of the classifieds today: "3.1964 max wedge nascar intake manifold $3500.00" I'm afraid to ask anything about it due to not being interested in a 3500 dollar intake manifold. Thirty. Five. Hundred. Thoughts? Also, I ordered a copy of the July 1963 Hot Rog mag and will post pics of the article when it arrives.

Just curious if any new info has surfaced regarding the exact application for this manifold, and possibly value?
