Anyone have experience with an AMS T4 Divided Manifold from 20+ years ago?

An opportunity arose to purchase an old school tubular manifold made by AMS 20+ years ago, any of you guys have experience with them? Just looking for 2nd opinions. Motor is a 2.3 stroker with BC 280's. Thanks in advance.

I am not so sure what exactly you want to know but some people still run 30+ years old manifold. So how old is not that important in this case as long as if the manifold itself is in good working condition. Just check welding condition if tubular, and flange, material condition before buying.

Makes sense, I guess I wondered if anyone still happened to be running one or owned one in the past

Make sure it is good? I would assume so as the stuff they used to make was good quality. Buddy local here runs a old redjack racing manifold from long ago and its still perfect.

With age, I would check to make sure it's properly braced (especially wastegate section) if it was exposed to moisture. Should be good though.
