Same exhaust manifold from 1968 to 1973, all models, (1.5 and 1.9 litre CIH engines) including the Kadett, GT, Ascona (1900 in the U.S.) and Manta. The 1974 and 1975 models (I have been told) have a slightly different version (the "Sprint") without the "heat stove" that the intake manifold absorbs heat from, which is actually more desirable since it flows better.

I stand corrected. By the man who doesn't sleep. Um, what's happening at 3:04 in the morning, Bob?

So, the "Sprint" manifold, which is so highly sought after, was installed in the '68-'72 Rekord Sprint? And was it the same design during all of those years? Now I understand the origin of the name (I think).

I saw this picture on the classicopels site, where it was called a "Sprint" manifold (downloaded by Ruediger, so I guess it was a "German" manifold from a Rekord). There was another photo referred to as "Otto's modified '75 FI Sprint manfold" (which I will post below). Are they the same, or were there differences between the "Sprint" and FI manifold?

FI "NuSprint" Manifold

Or did Otto just cut out the cast iron web between the runners?
