Factory 318/360 outlet is about 3.5. What application will fit the thermoquad manifold I have? Really stuck here...vehicle is down and I am walking.

The spread on a typical 318/360 is about 3.5" across. This manifold has a spread of 2 7/8" across. Insanity production from Ma MOPAR!

It don't, they all (SB) switched in the mid to late 70's early 80's. That was a good quick reference. Takes the smaller stat too

They have very little sealing surface compared to our more common ones so do check that your base gasket for it fits well and you might have to grind the nub on the gasket sealing area flat to stop a leak(I did) live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
