It could possibly be froma '56 passenger car 265-V8 with a two barrel. I thought it would look good on my truck in any case. I was hoping it would be correct for the year though. | | |

I think that the ones that red58 showed may be for mid '60's-early'70's, they match the ones i've seen on those year trucks.
