<VV> '64 turbo exhaust extension?

Shaun....

The 60 - 61 book shows a part under 3.609 called Extension with dimensions 
of 1 9/32L, 1 3/8OD and 1 3/16ID, but the part # is 3780217 which is a bit 
different from the part you are looking at.  This would be a non-turbo 
setup, but the pic on page 84 shows the extension piece being used between 
the exhaust pipe FLANGE and the exhaust manifold.  It appears that the 
packing goes over the extension.  Perhaps later (repro?) exhaust systems 
were made a bit longer here so that the extension is not needed?  Perhaps 
turbo still needs this.  Don't know.  Never had a turbo.

Anyway, that is as close as I can come to an answer at this time.
