By the way, thank you for the great photo of your steering linkage. I have been trying to find one that shows how I could make mine.
Yes they are Summit Racing’s brand manifold, which is Hookers exact manifold without hooker stamped on it and are $100 cheaper. As for the passenger side, it did slightly hit the frame. My choices were to notch it out or slightly bend the top lip up of the frame, I just bent the top lip up for clearance, didn’t take much.

Also your very welcome on the steering linkage pictures, I searched for days on a setup and came up with nothing, I would have paid $50 for a picture, it doesn’t look like it was hard to do, but I probably have 10 hours alone in it trying to figure out what will work, it’s super tight, but works without binding .
