Yes those are the ones. I asked around and found out they come like that. go figure lol.
Theres a guy on StangNet offering to sell his stock manifolds to me for not much. Might go that route. Part of me wants to test fit these things tho...
i'll take a look at the distributor tomorow too.

There should be a screw on the side of the carb... you turn the screw to adjust the air/fuel and you just listen to the way the engine sounds if you go either lean or rich the engine wil start to run rough. Just turn it inbetween those times til the engine is running smooth and you should be good.

regardless i wont be driving fiona for a bit. took off the lincoln manifolds (jesus teh MII comparment is cramped) and discovred one was cracked, so much so that a part just fell off 
check out the pictures
The last few show the flanges of the manifolds. i was playing with them, trying to mount them in the conventional manner, but i realized those ****ed flanges keep hittting ****. i figured if i cut off the flanges, or grinded them down, and fabricated a custom extension to snake through the gaps i could hook it up to cats and mufflers. too bad the #$%^ers broke.
I found a guy on stangnet selling his stock II manifolds. If i cant shoehorn the hedmans in, i'll go that route.

well, test fit the long tubes
On the driver's side, they slit in easily enough, until the bolt flange hit the steering shafta and and the rest of that area. its really hard to weave the big fat mondo collector pipe thing down there, especially with the flangethat sticks out in certain places.
passenger side was a bit different, i had trouble sliding it in at all. the space between the motor and frame is quite compact. also ( i didnt get that far but...) it looks like its gonna be even ahrder for the collector pipe to squirm and squeeze around that monstrous starter. if the ground wasnt wet, and if i had more clearance, i'd go under and try and slide it up, but it is and there isnt, so i didnt.
sigh lol.but looking at the spacial issues, i feel very competent that i can take another set of stockers and whip up some shorties and custom midpipes for em.
if i could get my hands on some fox or MII or even 1st gen 302/289 manifolds im sure i could figure it out. MII or newer would be preferable i suppose. MII bec it should fit, and fox bec they're tubular, and this, easily cutable and weldable
we'll see how it goes

I dont have a torch, nor do i really have cash for a mini starter. Plus, i still dont know if it'll fit around the belhousing of the AOD.
I've looked down there and i know that a compact 4into1 stockish setup and one pipe snaking through the obstacles will work out fine, and be alloooottt more economical for me at the moment. i can stull use one of the lincoln manifolds, sicne i looked at IT for cracks, and there were none. one more manifold and im set, that'll run me what, $20?
Maybe down the road when i have more time/money/tools...

but... they would be great for a forward system...
tale the one on the left and put it on the passenger side, the flange will be in the front, going stright down into the emty zone of my engine compartment. use the one on the right on the otherside and its facing forward with a slightly downward angle. that could be routed sideways across the car (drivers side to passenger) into a two-into-one muffler
curious.. verryyy curious...

Time to put the welding skills to the test! Or maybe you can just take the flanges and weld up eight individual pipes sticking up through the hood flanking a shaker intake... (good way to show off the flames!)
LOL!
