They all (A series) point slightly forwards. I suspect the line drawing for
the clamp type in parts catalogues originally came from an existing drawing
for another car, possibly Morris Minor or A30? If you can get hold of the
flanged type, it makes a much better joint and is the correct type for your
'74. It would have been tapped for studs not drilled for bolts if it is
from a UK car, but it's highly likely the threads will be stripped, so
would either need to be welded and redrilled/tapped or larger size studs
fitted anyway. (I have one like this waiting to be done!)
As a matter of interest, what manifold is on the car now, that needs
replacing?
