Bob, it looks like something that would go on a Fordson 🚜 tractor

Bob, does it fit a Model T block and align to T valve ports ? It looks like a Swan manifold that I once had, but mine said Swan in a circle on the top of the intake manifold, so that may not be Swan. There was a Swan updraft carburetor that went with the manifold but I didn’t have the carburetor.

Here’s the Fordson website. Some of the manifolds look close to yours but not sure https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=htt ... AdAAAAABAI
The parts book pages look to be from the T era.

From what Iam seeing it appears to be a kerosene manifold. Not sure if it’s for a T but the screw on exhaust sure looks like it. Does the little lever on top block exhaust flow? Old tractors have those to heat up the manifold to get the kerosene going.

Wondering...
The manifold has some similarities to an "Economy Manifold" for a Model T with the stud mounting holes like for a Model A. Would help to see whats behind the intake plate. Is it a vaporizer?

Scrubbed the pictures for a better look. Lots of places for a carb linkage.

Be a modification to put on a regular Model T car engine to burn kerosene on regular usage instead of gas ? The car would start on gasoline and after the engine warmed up would switch over manually to kerosene for regular vehicle use.

A search for 'KMC manifold" shows a similar kerosene manifold and carb.
Not sure what brand this one is but it sure looks like it was meant to burn kerosene.
All the best,
Kevin
