Default 1962 Intake Manifold Number??

What is the correct casting number for a 1962 intake 327/300HP?
Noland Adams says #3749349, cast iron intake. (Page 365) Could the number be a typo??

I can't find a listing in the Alan Colvin (Chevy by the Numbers)publication for a 1962 Corvette 300HP. He does have a listing for a 1963 - 64 Corvette 300 HP that is #3799349. Also shows that the #3799349 intake was used on 1962 Pass. cars 327/300 HP.
The only 1962 Corvette I can find in his book is #3783244 but it shows that it is for a 327/250 HP.

Corvette World.com says the number for a 1962 Corvette intake manifold, 327/300 HP, is #3799349 and that it is an aluminum intake.

Can anybody help verify the correct number?

If the question is regarding a '62, 300 hp, my NCRS Spec Guide says its 3799349, but it states its aluminum.

The 62, 300 HP engine has a 3799349 cast iron intake manifold.
All 62, 3799349 cast iron intakes has a cast date of 2-2-61 (possibly a mold date), it also has the actual cast date.
All this info is from my 61-62 judging guide.
I have one of these engines and it is exactly as described in the judging guide.

That was corrected (to cast iron) in the Fifth Edition Spec Guide (Spring, 2011).
