RE: Below Intake Manifold

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

PCG has it on ebay for $25 plus $11.75 shipping (almost 50% of the price 
of the piece....)

They show a graphic of it and say: 

"This Intake Manifold Insulation was used all through the 1960s, and 
into the 1970s on big blocks, except hemi. It's not likely to have been 
used on 440-6 engines, and it's not likely to have been used on 
mid-1970s-and-up high performance blocks.
     Its purpose was listed in parts catalogs as "Valve Tappet Noise 
Reduction Silencer Package." Some say its real purpose was to prevent 
the intake manifold from cracking due to heat. Some say it was only used 
on air conditioning cars.
     Those who have observed many original engines have seen its two 
pieces tucked under the intake manifold.
     It is POSSIBLE to install these exactly-reproduced pieces after 
your manifold is already in place, but it's much easier to do like the 
factory did. The pieces were placed on the pan, large piece in front, 
small piece in rear, then the manifold was bolted in. These pieces 
should have engine paint overspray."
