GP-6050 Tractor update

Where did you find that number? "GP" is the Ford prefix code for their General Purpose Vehicle, aka the JEEP. The FORD GPW/Jeep was a modified 9N engine. '6050' is the FORD UPC number for all flatheads. Part prefix codes would define the part further as to what module it was designed for and first used on. For example, the 9N-6050 would be first used on the 1939 9N. These HD manifolds are nothing new. They were foreign made and sold as aftermarket parts some time ago but don't think they are still made.

You should have asked when you were here Ed!
I had three or four and gave them away.
At one time I was told they were aftermarkets TSC sold.
I don't know if that's accurate or not.
You will need longer studs or use bolts like in my picture.
I prefer studs.
They just didn't seem to seal up as well on a not perfect block.
