    It’s a 1972. Missing the choke coil and rod.

    I'll check for a 72 choke if Bruno can't help.

    How many bolts hold the choke in. Should tell us what you have.

    It’s not the original manifold as it was put by the previous owner.

    I think your right...it is a 70 or earlier manifold from the bolt pattern.

    Yes, I realized the previous owner didn't put in the correct manifold.

    The two holes are not spaced/angled like a 1971 choke coil.

    The OP picture shows it as a 1970 and older manifold as the mounting bolt is the center and it doesn't require the cup because the 70 and earlier intake manifold did not require the cup just the choke coil assembly.

    He needs the very early style housing then.... maybe Bruno will have one.
