I'm trying to figure out if an osco 0879 riser can be used on one of my 470 motors.

I picked one up on eBay to keep as a spare (got it for $100) but realized after I purchased it theres two different ones,one for aluminum and one for cast iron manifolds.

Does anyone know if they are interchangable?

I believe the osco 0879 is for a cast iron manifold

My motors are 1987 and I'm assuming their aluminum manifolds.

The reservoirs for the cast and aluminum manifolds have different Merc part numbers. They also have different manifold to reservoir gaskets, so I'd guess they aren't interchangeable.
