Tony,

Considering the proliference of Canadian vehicles in Australia, I suspect it
may be from one of ours. We used American-manufactured 270s in our Fox and
Otter as well as in our 6X6 GM CMPs; does the manifold look anything like the
one in this picture?

Let me know the part number you mentioned and I can look it up in one of the
parts manuals (a friend of mine has most of them).
