Yes, on a 67 it "kicks out" right into the steering column, if it went
straight down, it would be fine. I saw a 67 300 at a car show that had some HP
manifolds like them , but the dump was straight down and they would work fine on
a 67-8 imperial, but I have never been able to find a one.

The photos must not tell
the whole story - they clear
with lots of room to spare. An elegant
item, those
manifolds. I'll do the same on any other engines
I
redo for the 3 other 70-73 cars that I have. I don't
have a
67/68, so that's not an issue yet.
The dump kicks outward, not straight
down, neatly
missing the starter, while the steering is forward
of
it. I questioned it when I had the engine out and
ready, things
lined up fine once in though.
