Re: Reproduction small block exhaust manifold
 

I'm so frustrated with these mani's that maybe I will just buy another repop set! I have ground so much material off the backside to make it seal that the mani will probably crack sometime down the road - and it still leaks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif I know that I bought my set along with C-Joe's set, and I think both of ours leak https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Yep...Marlin, I think its time to buy another 2 pairs for the same pair of Deuces.

Who did you buy them from I would call and see what they can do for you. It doesnt hurt to try and see. If it was D&R let me know Ill see what I can.

Good idea, hate to burden the seller with a mfg defect - but I'm so frustrated with these things I feel like melting them down for scrap! I believe the passenger side is also incorrect, causing the head pipe to interfere with the trans crossmember. Both Joe and my car have the leaking driver's side mani, and the pipe interference on the passenger side. Neal and I gave the poor Gardner guys fits about the head pipe, and they provided the necessary solution - when later I began theorizing that the culprit was a faulty passenger side mani as well https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif can I get steam to come out of that smiley?

I think we bought them from Camaro Specialites in Aurora, NY.
