302?? What are you doing? Did you get my 351W manifolds? If not I have a pair of them and they would bolt on a 302 engine, but I think the outlets would be slightly off for a 302 exhaust system.
He's welcome to these - if you didn't get them. It is worth a try to see if they'll fit. I'll check tomorrow and text you. And, if I'm going to be down that way I can bring them and meet you.
I'll look - when I finish this second cup of Joe. But, if you got a set then what is left should be the set from the '85 HO. And those have a heat riser on the driver's side, so the manifold itself is about 1 1/2" shorter and the riser makes up the diff. He could block the riser open if he needs the driver's side.

Three pretty ladies: my wife, my daughter, and my granddaughter. Plus my handsome grandson. Only way it gets better than this is when we have the rest of the family here - like on Thanksgiving. Lots for which to be thankful.
I've gotten them from O'Reilly's - and paid too much. But they ordered in both the 80-86 and the 87+ ones to let me see what I thought. So I felt obliged to buy from them.
Amazon.com
TYC 11-3268-01 driver's side $22.46
TYC 11-3267-01 passenger's side $22.74
The catch is: free freight if over $35.00 [and you only need one].
Thanks, David. That one I got from you sure makes the other one look ugly. So, it was a mixed blessing, although to be fair, the one I replaced was broken such that several of the screws were stripped out. So, the truck is now safe, just not pleasing. However, it might not be "pleasing" with just one new tail light?
Does anybody have any 302 exhaust manifolds laying around?
Brandon - Looks like we are good to go. I have a set of Wimpy exhaust manifolds, and the attached shot from the parts catalog tells me that all of the Wimpy's used the same exhaust manifolds. (It was easy to tell which were which when comparing exhaust ports. You'll remember the much larger ports the M's have. )
I'm trying to find a set of Chevy 6x5.5" wheels and tires to let me roll the '50 off the lift, and if I can find them locally I'll be wheeling down your way today or tomorrow and can deliver the manifolds. The only issue is that the driver's side is the one from the '85HO I had and it uses the heat riser, which needs to be included to get the right overall length. And, it needs a bushing where the shaft runs or it'll leak. But, that shouldn't be hard for James as the bushing is probably common. Or, he can just remove the butterfly and plug the holes.
They look soooooo much better, but they pass light even better than that. You can polish the old ones all you want, but that won't make the plastic transparent and they still won't pass light. Good job, Matthew!

I already polished the passenger side one! LOL
the new ones in person are quite a bit shinier. They let a lot more light through in the daylight, can't wait to see what they look like tonight!
