Default I Need help identifying two tripowers.

Hi,
I have a couple of tripowers I could really use some help indentifying. There is a long one with two carbs,center is missing, which I think is a chevy. The numbers on it are 3749948. Is this for a 409 or 348 or something? There is a date code on it that looked like A1380.
The other I think is off of a Pontiac or maybe an Olds. The numbers on it are 571145. I could not find a date code on it. Did Pontiac have a tripower prior to the mids 60's? It seems a little earlier. Below is a link to pictures of them. Any help would be appreciated....Thanks Kyle www.geocities.com/fan_15/tripowers.html

The first one is a 348 Chev manifold for 58-61.
The second is a 371 Olds manifold for 57-58.

No problem.
First one from my Chevy "by the numbers" book. I just sold that same manifold about a year ago on eBay so it's familiar.
The second from here: http://www.inil.com/users/dlbrown/ofinm.htm

Way to go Larry! I recognized the 348 right away, but the other one had me stumped. I knew it wasn't an Indian part, but wasn't gonna guess. Love those triples!
