Was there any turbo V6 aluminum intake manifolds made in 1979?With the threaded hole for the knock sensor?

I saw that. 
'79 intakes were cast iron. The knock sensor won't work in an aluminum manifold, that's why Buick moved it to the block.
Ask him how much it weighs (for shipping purposes of course). If it's ~33 lbs., it's iron. Casting number would help too.

Damn....Thought I was gonna be saving me some weight.Looks like I'll be needing to go on a diet.Did you notice the 79'-83' exhaust manifolds? Gee...if he was a regular visitor of the Before Black website.He would know they were actually 78's.
