Here is where you will find all the information we have on the famous (and rare) Man-A-Fre port induction plate, that is what is was developed as back in the day. it was named Man-A-Fre because is was manifold free "Port Induction" one carb dumping directly to two cylinders. as time go's by I will try to post as much of Man-A-Fre's history as I can. Here is a start, these are the original mold and casting.

Hear are photos of the early Atlanta castings, this is the first run. as they were cast problems of lettering started missing during casting, the first was the fire in fireing order. this is one of my restored units, it was walnut shell blasted then high temp clear coated.

The "L" in Atlanta is missing. I believe this was the last of the Atlanta casting run. Attachments:

They seem to be more complete with the early lettering.
