Intakes

The 32 and early 33 fuel pumps mount different. The generator mounts are
also different. But the bolt patterns are the same. G.M.
 
It depends what ELSE you want to bolt to them. In 32, there was a post mounted generator, a 2 bolt Detroit Lubricator carb and a fuel pump that was only used for 32 and in some cases 33 (the tall one). In 33, the generator changed to the front bolt mount - but still had the Detroit Lubricator carb and fuel pump setup from 32. In 34 the carb changed to a Stromberg 48 and the fuel pump changed . . . can't say that I know enough about 35 and 36. The above are GENERALLY correct, there were some early versus late cross-overs on all this stuff.

What year engine are you building and what are you trying to bolt onto it?
 
That range all swaps...I'm assuming you want a two barrel carb and a fuelpump that costs less than your house!
A minor difference in that range is that there are two heights of the generator mount stud, requiring different belts. If you are swapping out a '32 you have no stud to compare, but you can guesstimate from overall generator height.
 
You might want to add '37 to the list. It has a lower mount for the generator when compared to the '34 to '36. Note a the '32-'33 take has a one barrel carburetor. If I am correct a '37 is what you want to use if you are putting a later 21 stud in a '32. A VERY important question is, what are you working on?

I have a 34 I noticed the intake was cracked I have 2 other intakes both bolt patterns are the same as the cracked one but all three are different on the outside.want to remain stock. Am out of town but plan to put all of your input here to good use to figure out what I have when I get home. Thanks
 
i too have some questions on this same topic. i have a 59 block going in a 34 and wish to use a stromberg 97 so the stock carb linkage all goes on, and the crab dizzy. so, the early type manifold with the vacuum port up front would be logical choice. i have two, one iron, one aluminum, no idea what year they are, but is either one a better runner?
