[AJD] Correct B Manifold description

[Dean VP]

Bruce:

Excellent reasoning. I failed to look at the gasket application. That says
it will fit but maybe give slightly different performance. It is entirely
rational that this manifold was installed simply because it was available!
It could be as simple as Farmer/dealer/mechanic expediency! Your information
and an answer Duane Larson provided on YTMag is probably enough for me to
describe this honestly and correctly when it goes on eBay. Thanks.

Dean: According to the parts book, your assumptions are correct. But, since 
the gasket is the same one for the '48's and up "B's" , this manifold would 
also fit. It could have been put on for many different reasons. Price was 
right, only one they could find easy, came off another late styled "B" 
someone was using for parts, etc., etc.
