DSMITH Jun 16th, 99, 5:49 AM OK, I have discovered a crack in my heat riser valve that fits inbetween the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe. If I remove this and leave it off, will my exhaust fit correctly? Or should I get a new one? (and where can I get one?) If I can leave it off, is there a rig that can make up for the additional space. Thanks again!!! 70 Chevelle 350 Pat Kelley Jun 16th, 99, 7:39 AM To my knowledge, you need to have it there. The mainfold doesn't have the machining for the donut to fit into it. You might try a real parts store (not Kragan or the like) for one. If they don't have it then wrecking yards are in your future http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif d1_bradley Jun 16th, 99, 7:48 AM Most of the Restoration supply places sell them. I think Ground Up has them. There is also one that looks and fits correctly but doesn't have the plate in it. Hodge Jun 16th, 99, 6:29 PM You can leave it out if you take a die grinder and form a seat for the donut. However, you will have to make up the missing space with some exhaust work. Did the same to my 66. ------------------ FIG Jun 17th, 99, 2:39 PM The part ya need is a N-660 64+spacer that lists for $26.95 sold by Grounds Up. FIG | ||
