John has a '56 Mark II. But, I'm guessing he would take either the early (GEN 1) or the later (GEN 2) styles.

I didn't think there was a height difference on the manifold. Why the difference in the cap?

I have no idea why, but there definitely is!

The reason I brought that up is someone that has a '57 says he can't close his hood with the air cleaner on it and wondered if he got a '56 engine back from the rebuilder. I'll ask about his block number.

I've got one comimg from MKII Enterprises....$25.e.I already know when it arrives it wont work...over the winter I replaced my intake manifold gaskets and took off the valve pushrod cover just to take a peek under there and I found this home made thing. Thats the underside

I didn't know it at the time (but I do now) that the vent cap was a faucet strainer...lol
