Possibilities:
- PO replaced the engine in your GMC with one out of a 1968 Toronado?
- PO replaced a bad exhaust manifold with the repaired one on there now? BTW whoever welded it did a crap
Does the LH exhaust manifold look like the picture I posted?
From the photo of the two manifolds you posted I doubt the exhaust pipe that connects the cracked exhaust manifold to the muffler
will fit the correct exhaust manifold Espen sent you. Hopefully you will be able to have a replacement pipe fabricated in Europe. If
not it is reasonable to assume Jim K. could send you one IF the RH muffler and its location is OEM as shipped from GMC.

Terry, I'll reuse the old manifold to drive to another GMC user who will
make sure that Espen's manifold will connect to my exhaust. I've lived
with the loud exhaust for 3-4 trips now, I can live with it for one
more. And maybe my magic cement that I put into the old manifold will
hold, and the new gasket will hold as well, and everything will be quiet
again. :-)
