Perfect
A couple of minor trim adjustments.

Very happy.
Actually time will tell how good this product turns out to be. My first impression is how much heavier this part is over the 50 yr old original, with 59k miles on it. I could not find a manifold stating that it was for a 170 CID slant six. So I took a chance on this one. Fit like a glove- with a couple minor modifications. 1, still and tap the second hole for the choke thermostat. No big deal as the pilot hole lined up with the old part. Why it wasn’t already tapped- who knows. Also the inner hole for the intake manifold mount to the exhaust manifold has a larger bolt hole than original. I reamed the hole larger in the intake manifold to install a larger diameter bolt. Plenty of material- so no problem. I used the thick “repair” type gaskets. It sounds like a new car now! For the price- I’m very happy.
