    Looks like a Hexagonal Tool clone, never seen this style of Evans.

    The intake manifold you have pictured here is indeed a Hexagon Tool flat head intake manifold. The Evans you see was done with a letter punch. Perhaps the former owner was named Evans and he wanted to personalize the intake. You can always tell a Hexagon Tool intake because the carbs are mounted backwards.

    That that was a possibility, except he did stamp his name in the bottom and his initials near the genny mount. Any idea in the 1001 serial number?

    Thanks!

  4. That is definitely not an 'EVANS' intake as far as the intake manufacturer we think about is concerned . . . but there are more than one 'EVANS' in the world!

    Where the Evans is punched into behind the gen mount is usually a date. I don't have one in front of me as I type, but I can get it tonight.

    Agree with others, somewhere down the line someone ground off the date and the Hexagon Tool and punched in Evans.

    This is not an Evans intake.

    Looks like a high school metal shop attempt to impress the other rodders or potential un-savy buyers.
    Typical stuff I see at swap meets or garage sales. I have an Eddie Meyers that is stamped "Eddy Miers"
    it is actually an Almquist, the logo was visible below the grinding marks. Make hot rodding great again !
