and these are the ones it could be: except the gx one cus those are way to big

* Small oval (28 mm x 30 mm). The 1974 A13 has this design.

* Small oval with swirl obstruction. These are good for emissions and fuel economy

* Large oval (28 mm x 34 mm). These std A14/A15 ports are best for high-RPM operation, or for the bigger engines

NOTE: the top of the port comes up to the centerline of the top bolts

* GX oval (30 mm x 36 mm). From A12GX and A12T engines.

NOTE: the top of the port comes up as high as the top of the top bolt holes (port comes up past the bolt hole centerline)

please help me figure out which one i have have either small oval or large oval which one is it??????

PLEASE HELP!

It looks like a standard late-model A14 head. Standard oval port.

Measure your ports (width and height) and you tell us!

or pop the rocker cover off and take a pic of head from above and the side.

Yes, if it says H72 or H89 on the top of the head (remove valve cover to see) then you'll know for sure. It's just six screws and the gasket can usually be reused.

alright thanks do you guys know were i could get a manifold for some side drafts...???? the same head type that i have ??? i just bought some 40 dcoe's brand new ....

Any A14 manifold will work. If it doesn't cover the water holes in the head, then plug the holes. That's what everybody does.

You can buy a brand new manifold for B-Projects via mail order. They are perhaps (?)$260. Send email and he'll write back with a price and shipping costs.
