    I'm trying to get a new exhaust manifold for my 7o Maverick with with a 200ci 6cyl in it but end up getting two options one manifold with IMCO and one without. What is it and how do I know which one I need to get? Not many good pics out there. I only have one little tube going to the carb that I believe is for the choke.

    thank in advance

    In your first pict, the large flexible hose is part of IMCO system.

    I thought that was just a preheater hose and the small tube was for the choke. Not much attached to this manifold. This would constitute being IMCO?

    If you really want improved combustion, swap in a V-8...

    IMCO is the heated air cleaner, a lean carb & probably retarded timing.

    Get a new repop for an early (1960's) Mustang. It will work.
