riviadrian Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm looking for a good right (passenger) side exhaust manifold for my '63. Anybody got one lying around??? I've got the carb rebuilt and when moving on to the broken choke, nice surprise, wasted manifold. If anyone has a line on one please let me know.Thanks!-Adrian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 There are two styles. One with the built in heat riser and one with a bolt on heat riser; which kind to you need? If you try to replace a built in one with a bolt on one and the bolt on one is missing the heat riser, you'll have about a 1.5" gap between the manifold and the exhaust pipe.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the additional knowledge as well.-Adrian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have two and both are the bolt on type. Sorry. What kind of ads did you find in the latest Riview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riviadrian Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I am waiting on a few people to return calls. Thought I had a line on one, but not so much. I wasted four days waiting on confirmation from a local guy. Turns out he only had a junk parts car rotting in a field. I was able to pick up a spare wheel from him, ( bought mine without a spare) but that's about it. I will keep chasing the manifold through ads in the Riview, and maybe try some other forums as well.

RivNut Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I found another manifold for the passenger's side. It's the kind with the bolt on heat riser, AND the heat riser is still on it. (Stuck but that shouldn't be a problem) If you're still needing one, send me a PM and I'll give you some details.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riviadrian Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks Ed. I was able to find a machine shop that repaired mine. I'm dying to get her back from my mechanic, but the city shut down my alley for repairs, (up to a month) so I can't access my garage. I've got him sorting a couple of minor things since it will be two more weeks until she can come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
