Re: [FWDLK] How screwed am I?

Hi Bryan,
I just read your post...you ought to have more than one bolt holding the
exhaust manifold on...
I drove my 59 Fireflite with a cracked exhaust for about a year...when it
warmed up, the manifold expanded, the crack would close up, and the noise
would abate.
You can take the manifold to a qualified welder and have it fixed, of you
can look for a replacement
in a junkyard...
