This could be one of two things. The first is that some one tossed the teapots and put the Rochesters on it.

The second scenerio is that the setup up you have is for a Mercury. A very rare item if this is so. I know 56 Mercs used Rochesters (or was it Carters?), don't know about 55 or 57.

This could be either a 56 or 57 manifold. They were not the same.

Thanks,
