has anyone seen or know of where a person can find a set of the original style clamps that went around the intake manifold that use the orings?

Those look like the later wide ones, and even Tedd's offers repops.
I confess however, that I haven't the patience to have ever tested any.
They HAVE to be better than stainless replacements that are wider than .750"

Tom,
Those clamps look exactly like the ones on my 65fl

Yes, '65 definitely uses the late clamp.
I might be wrong once again,
but I believe '55-'56 used a narrower clamp of the same design, also available in reproduction.
That's why Chris asked.

I have some of the narrow type, NOS. I looked but they must be at the bottom of the pile. I'll look again when I get a minute and post a pic.-BobOriginally posted by T. Cotten View PostComment

These are 1/2 in. wide, the others are 3/4 in. and narrow to 1/2 in. to pass thru the clamp.-BobOriginally posted by 48hdbob1 View PostComment

I haven't looked at the NOS part stuff lately. One has to be careful when shopping by part #. You could end up with this, a Shovelhead clamp that retro-fits back to the Panheads.-BobOriginally posted by MJW View PostComment

The NOS site has nice pictures that show the thin clamps, I think I'll try a set, they must be better than the aircraft style...MikeComment
