Hey does anyone know if a 1977 Plymouth slant six manifold would fit a 1982 dodge d150 slant six? |

Yes, it will. It is very much worth your while to get the good gaskets for the manifolds-to-head and intake-to-exhaust junctions. |

Okay thanks a lot, mine has a leak and I’m looking to change it with any parts, an I forgot to mention that it was an intake manifold, still the same right? |

Yes they are the same. Your's is aluminum?

I’m not even sure if it’s aluminum, how do I tell just by looking at it? |

Aluminum is a silverish color underneath the paint. Cast iron likely has a rust sheen, but it is black-grey if you sand or clean it. Cast iron intakes rarely fail outright. Why are you believing that the intake has a vacuum leak. What leads you to believe the intake has failed? I am not questioning your belief outright, but trying to make sure that it is not something else that is a comparatively easier fix... It would seem to me that the vacuum leak is in the gaskets, or somewhere else, and not the cast iron intake itself. |

Is a magnet attracted to it?

Intake manifolds don't need replacement for leaks very often. Sure it isn't just the gaskets? |

The Remeflex gaskets that SlantSixDan suggested work great and that may solve your vacuum leak issue. |
