With smog holes is correct for all '69s. The same casting numbers w/o holes will work, but are highly desirable. I have a pair from 1966 w/o holes, both need repair (one mounting ear on one, and the tailpipe flange on the other).

Mine's a '69 too, and I figured out that Bubba had gotten earlier manifolds because the smog pump is long gone.

I've gotten some headers, so these manifolds can go to sale/trade.
