Early Rams Horn casting numbers?

A friend has sent me a poor picture of some manifolds, wanting to know if they are lincoln or small Y. The alignment of the mounting holes cant really be seen.

I found a good pic of lincolns in the search, and the brace between the two humps mentioned by Charlie is clear to see. It looks like the ones of question do not have that brace. Can someone confirm whether or not the casting ECY is consitent with the early 272/292 manifolds?

I have had one or two of the early sets, but dont remember their ID.

Thanks for the effort Charlie. BigWin (Kevin) told me he has a set of early Lincoln Y RHs WITHOUT the center brace. I quickly relayed the info to Chris, the guy.

If the 272/292 horns were made 1957-1962, ECY doesnt sound like a 1957 part ID, or does it?

And while on the subject, even though the last RH ID was C2TE, werent they on trucks up until 1964?

Mike, I checked my lincoln rams and they do NOT have the cross brace. I could not read my manifold #'s Looked like EAM? EAN? I dont know.

Mine are off a 1956 F800 332cu in
Later, Kevin

Thanks Kevin. Chris finally received a decent picture showing all the holes lined up on a yardstick. So ECY is a good number for 272/292 RHs.

For what it's worth, mine are C2TE.

I should have said "ECY is a good number/ID for early 272/292 RHs"; added here for future reference in case someone does a search.

You know, you asked about the C2TE and rams being used untill 64. Well they used that # manifold for the 3 years without a modification.

The early ones (and I'm guessing its the ECY) were changed and then a new #C2TE was designated to the new design.

That is what I thought I knew, but sometimes a person starts wondering.
