Yes they made a separate manifold with Tiger lettering, it is most
likely the same manifold as the Shelby AC Cobra since it also uses Smith
gages.
Pipe thread has a slight taper; that means that the threads at the
bottom will have a smaller diameter then those at the top. Straight
threads will have the same diameter everywhere. You would have to look in
a Machinist handbook to find the exact numbers.

Subject: Re: Four barrel advice for a '66 260 Tiger needed
Steve,
I'm a little confused. Was a separate Edelbrock F4B made for the British
and
US markets? Also, for the uninitiated, how do you tell the difference
between a pipe and straight thread? Which model has no PCV provision?
Further, you said that the Tiger LAT version is straight threaded for the
water sensor hole, but pipe threaded on the intake runner for the PCV. Is
that
correct?
I have an NOS Edelbrock F4B in the original Edelbrock packaging (from the
'60's I think) sitting on a shelf in my garage at home and I'm wondering
which
version I purchased.
On a completely different topic, is there anyone in the SF Bay Area with a
Tiger that is painted a "true" Carnival Red? If possible, I would like to
see
the paint color in person.
Thank you.
Rodney
