Thought that this was the nicest K at the auction. Strong price for a coupe.

The Henry Ford II K convertible with the custom dash and leather interior was also an interesting car.

65KGT · Exhaust Manifold Locks 65KGT December 17, 2019 at 5:48 AM

Engine looks very nice.

April 65 should have the locks. They went away mid 66.
You can download the 64.5-66 rules from the MCA web site. This is one of the items that is specifically called out.

You can also check the 65 assembly manuals. Washer against the manifold, then the lock. Make sure to bend the tabs over.

Exhaust Manifolds: Natural cast iron appearance (paint acceptable). May show engine color overspray. 64½-65 - tab locks. 66 – tab (early) or ramp-lock bolt and washers.
Locking tabs must be used to lock bolt in place. Washer behind lock tab. No manifold gaskets ..........................3
Workmanship, condition and cleanliness.........................................................................................2

Holman Moody in Charlotte can still grind you a HiPo cam at a very reasonable rate. The cam will be dead on.
