I'm looking for an original manifold for my Interceptor 292 Y-block, they are the later model square log style with the Interceptor logo on top. One of mine has developed an internal leak. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Welcome to CCF- what type of boat do you have your Y in?

Yes, welcome. I too am curious as to what boat the 292 is in.
If you do buy the set off ebay, make sure you pressure test them even though the seller states they are in excellent condition. The second generation aluminum Y block manifolds were prone to burn through. All it takes is to loose water flow and the exhaust burns through the aluminum. With the dual cavity dual sided cooling system on the Y blocks, many times the flow is lost on one side only. With only one temp gauge and one sender, the driver may not even know there's a problem on the other side!

Thanks for the welcome, I realize this forum is dedicated to Correct Craft but hopefully the fact that my current project is not a CC will not keep me from posting here. I owned a '68 Mustang back in the 80's and have always wanted another but I came across an unusual mustang "wanna be" known as a Saberflite, manufactured by Adventurer Boats in Austin, TX. which was later aquired by Glastron back in the 60's. There is not much information out there on this model but I thought it would be an interesting project. It is a '63 model equipped with the 185 Interceptor motor with Velvet drive 1:1 behind it. This boat is very similar to the '63 mustangs being produced at that time. Again, hopefully I am still welcome here as there are several identical drive train components that were used on these boats and I am trying to use all available resources to complete my project.

Also, Pete Brainard posted a link last week for Chris Craft parts and that guy had one NOS Y block Interceptor square manifold listed.

Here's the link to Jim Staib's http://www.finewoodboats.com/manifolds.htm - fine wood boats
I see he's got a set of the 1st generation round manifolds too.

Update, after searching extensively the only thing I could come up with is a set of used manifolds without the logo on top. The seller has gauranteed they are good or my money back so hopefully I can use those until some originals are located. The ones I bought include the front caps and rear risers which I already have, so I will post some pics of the extras when they arrive if anyone is interested in them. Thanks for all the suggestions and I will keep searching for the correct ones.
