Judging Guide
Almost ready to have my car judged. I have copies of the judging sheets and I would like to judge my car myself before going to a meet but have some doubts about how to go about it.
As an example my car is an L84. The correct exhaust manifolds for the FI engine are 3797942 (L) and 3797902 (R). I have those manifolds on the car and both are original GM with the thin casting nubs and they show the correct cast-in part numbers. However there are multiple versions of the 3797902 manifold. The correct version for the FI car has no choke tube hole. Mine has the hole so it obviously is not correct but is original (from GM and for P/N). I imagine that the point loss may vary from judge to judge. The judging sheet shows 15 pts for originality and 15 points for condition (presumably the total for both manifolds, so 7-1/2 points for each one). Can I expect the deduction of 7-1/2 of 15 total points for the right manifold, or does the fact that is it an original 3797902 manifold count for something?
Given it is not correct for my engine, what happens with condition points? Do I loose all of them (15 total for both manifolds / 2 = 7.5 deduction). What "condition" problems result in deductions on manifolds?
Thanks for any help.
