    Got an old (1962)Almquist catalog where they change the "WC" to the number 10 for all their Weiand listings and for the 10-245 manifold they have it listed as a three carb manifold for the Buick 49-53, 54-56, and 57-58 (available with 3 OR 4 bolt carb mounts)
     
  3. The C in WC-245 stands for Chryler. It will not fit the Desoto. If I can remember I'll dig out an old Hot Rod tonight that has an add with the Desoto part number.

    V8 if you find out it won't fit your Desota I might be interested in it if it will fit my 331 Chrysler. Keep me in mind if you want to sell it. Thanks, Andy

    Kerry: You are right. I forgot that the Olds manifold that I have had from Weiand always started with "WO" for Weiand Olds, and that WC was for the Chrysler engines.
    I think the Weiand Desoto manifolds would have had the numbers 255 (for the 6 carb log manifold), and 243 (for the 4 carbs in a row manifold)

  8. Here's an ad from the May 1956 Hot Rod for the intake your probably looking for.

  9. V8, I usta have a desoto 276 in my deuce and I had the WD245 intake on it with 4-81s. I paid $300 for it from a guy named Jim Johnson in either Oceanside or Carlsbad. I dont have his number anymore, I threw it out when I sold off everything hemi. But, he advertises in Hemmings with all manner of stuff hemi.
