When you say LAT manifold do you mean a correct 4 inlet Edelbrock F4b... or do you mean one of the several aftermarket (blue thunder/ buddy etc. ) intakes with TIGER cast into the top face?.. there are 3 different ones with TIGER on them.. they are not LAT.. but still nice period parts.. posting photos here will help... as mentioned link is down.

Here is one on Ebay. Says LAT 1. I'm wondering if it's different than the one advertized here.

You see F4B's on ebay all the time advertised as LAT 1, There were acouple of different F4B's as they modified them over the years, the F4B as originally offered for the Tiger was the early style with 4 individual intake ports where the carb mounted.

The one with the 2 larger intakes as per the ebay auction is the later one. I believe that there may also have been some different mouting holes for linkages as well on the later ones.

If you want to see the original LAT brochure and photo of the setup go to the tigersunited site.

Jim,

thanks for posting the revised link

here is the pics of the manifold for sale;

This manifold is not a LAT manifold but one of the ones based on the Ford 4BBL intake also offered as a COBRA lettered one. The TIGER ones are really nice and generally worth more than an F4B... but are not correct LAT parts.


here are some pics of the various after market TIGER lettered manifolds that were available. The only LAT 1 manifold was the early Edelbrock F4B.

I recieved a PM from someone that seemed very confused about the LAt parts.. so here are some pictures to help those not up to speed on the LAT vs non factory aftermarlet parts.
