Armours were a common manifold on a lot of the circuit race cars of the 70"s had a long runner for top end performance I sold a set of SU"s on one last year. Made  by Warren Armours from Sydney If memory serves me right ........FC427.......

They made Armours manifolds for twin carbies too.
Not the best photos, but this is the one on my car.
