Are both exhaust mainfolds the same on 63 & 64?
Tags:
No, Right passenger side is very different. 63 exits out bottom at center with thick ribs across front face while 64 exits out the rear.
This means several other differences:
- "Y" tail pipe is shaped different on the right side where they connect to exhaust manifold
- battery cable feeds behind the center bottom exit of the exhaust manifold in 63 and in front on 64 and is heldi n place next to RH cylinder head via a clamp. 63 simply goes around the back.
The bolts pattern and actual bolts are however the same where the 63 & 64 exhaust manifold attach to the cylinder head.
1961 to 1964 LH Driver side Side Exhaust Manifold is the same. The Master Parts book indicated the LH side also fits 1956, 1958, and 1965 Series 75 ... so much more latitude in finding an left driver side exhaust manifold!
Here is an example of 1963 RH Exhaust Manifold:
Here is a 1964 RH Exhaust Manifold:
Here is that clamp used in 1964:

When I first got my 64 SDV about 8 years ago, the power seat made noise but didn't go anywhere. I promptly read up on it and proceeded to take the seat transmission out to clean and re-lubricate it.…Continue

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
