Ahhhhhh. the good old days! I'm thinking that thing will bring a smile to someone's face if you decide to sell it. Not mine in particular, but someone's. Back in the late '70's I had a friend that went into his garage and pulled out an old factory aluminum 2x4bbl manifold from behind some junk for a small block Chevy, but had no clue what it came from and asked me. One look at it said that it came off of a late '50's or early '60's Corvette, I don't recall now. Brought a smile to my face. Only problem was where to find the Strombergs that fit it...back then?

The TO-20 was relatively the same as the TE-20 except utilized some different casting materials and had a US-style electrical system. The TO-20 was a dead ringer for the Ford 9N and 2N models and they say that Ferguson did this on purpose when the Handshake Agreement wen
