exhaust manifold for a 66 imperial

["A. Foster" <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Dave;

 Remove that exhaust manifold from the engine and take it to a machine shop, they should be able to plane that mating surface flat again. Alternatively you could double up on the gaskets, or use a thicker one, between the pipe and the manifold; but I am not sure how long that would work. Another alternative would be to grab a manifold off of a 383, I could be wrong but I believe that they are interchangeable with the 440 ones and 383's are easy to find.

Does anyone have a passenger side exhaust manifold for a 66 Imperial 440?  I got a leak where it hooks up to the pipe and keeps burning through exhaust gaskets. 

 

Thanks
