So I finally got both my manifolds off (no broken bolts). Yipee! Got them both sand blasted (no cracks), osphod and painted with 2000 deg flat black paint. Interesting drivers is a 76 manifold and passengers is a 73. Although they have the same shape, (Mr. obvious speaking) they do look quite different. Are there any specific reasons one would be concerned in running this configuration, two different year exhaust manifolds? I sure cant think of any, just thought I would ask, just to be sure.
Obviously the passenger manifold bit the dust some time in the past. Interesting also is that the front bolt for the passenger was larger, must have broken in the past, drilled out and tapped to a larger bolt size. I doubt this was original. So getting all the surfaces cleaned up then going to check for flatness. More rain this afternoon in Orlando, which keeps interrupting my progress.
