Simmons intake manifold...A or T ?

Found this manifold mixed in with an A heater manifold. It lines up with the ports on a T block.
Looks like a zoom zoom updraft carburetor would fit.

That is a model A version. However, the spacing is right. And with a little effort it could be used on a model T!

Sure looks model A to me. The port flange shape and the exhaust manifold heat exchanger bolt holes are the give away. The A intake port spacing is sumpin like 1/16” wider than a T too

Thank you !
I think it’s a possibility for a speedster.

it is one of a 2 piece system (exhaust manifold) for a Swan Carb. That one is not for a T. I have one in my collection because it is quite unusual. Little info about them other than their battles with several car manufacturers over patent infringements
A little info and a couple pix here:

Scott, I think I have the exhaust manifold too.
It has a piece broke off of one of the ports.
I see the carb mounting holes are 90deg from the T manifold....thanks for the link.
