Nice photo, I somehow knew someone would comment on it.My springs have cups on each end that the blocks fit in, they can not slide. I think I'll get a steel bar and use c clamps to compress the springs, sounds a lot safer too.

Is there a trick to reinstalling the leaf springs in a 1930 Chrysler with rubber block shock isolators? I think the mounts are called parabolic ?

Brazed it the best we could, still leaked around the welded area with porosity. I used JB Weld steel stick and added it to the damaged area. So far there are no leaks and the car runs great. It's not my show car, just an all original driver.

Doesn't leak where I silver soldered it, but does where it was welded. Weld had porosity and had to be removed. Going to try to braze it. If that doesn't work I'll be looking for a replacement intake. Glad it isn't my show

Company in Piqua , Ohio will put special paint in spray cans. Send me a PM and I'll get the contact information for you if your interested. I'm not sure if you have to supply the paint or they can.

Didn't take a picture of the repair. Look at Muggy Weld SSF6 cast iron manifold repair.

Manifold is repaired, the silver solder worked when instruction are followed.

Has anyone repaired a cast iron manifold using Muggy Weld SSF6? Video looks good.

The last picture shows a devise behind the fan to catch air and connects to a metal hose to go to the firewall / dash for the defroster! Sort of a neat thing, like the manifold heater.

Paint Library has trim/strip colors listed up to 1934, you could contact them and ask about your specific year and model.

Emblemagic.com Don't know if they are still restoring yet or not. They should be able to help or maybe have a restored one for sale...

I thought sure someone would respond faster then me ! Google auto paint library and follow the instructions on their site.

The coupe before we restored it and after it was restored. The Brougham still looks like the photo.

We stitched heavy cast iron parts where I worked, manifolds are to thin to stitch. Contacted JB Weld and they said to try their JB Tank seal on it. Worth a try! The car is an all original model 70 2 door Brougham 1930. Will post the results.. In the meantime, anyone have a spare they'll part with? Early production 218.6 engine with a downdraft carburetor.

Manifolds are off the engine, intake going to weld shop Monday. I have new gaskets and will have an engine rebuilder machine them together before they are installed again. Car hasn't been on the road since 2002, it's about time! Thanks , for all the input and advise. My other car will be at Auburn, Ind. show in May and Keeneland Concours later in the year. Just want to drive the Brougham again.

I had a crack years ago and I had it welded then. When the manifolds were taken off I had a new exhaust manifold cast because the original had been welded poorly. The manifolds were mated up by an engine builder who is well known. Years later it cracked again and a weld shop welded it. I installed it and before I had a chance to torque the nuts, I heard it crack. So yes it must be out of alignment. ( welder clamped it to a heavy table before he welded it ) I'll check it out before I install it again before it is tightened down ( hindsight is great isn't it?)

Has anyone ever used JB Weld to seal a crack on an intake manifold. My 1930 Chrysler with a 218.6 cu. in. engine has been welded and cracked again. Was welded with nickel rod. Any spares out there?

I paid good money for a company in Florida to make an exhaust for my '30 Chrysler, tailpipe wasn't close to fitting. Took the car to the local exhaust shop and had one made at a lot better price . I learned my lesson.

Bought a new flasher from LEDLight.com and installed it today. Problem solved, turn signals work great. Cost was around $12.00.

A special 6 volt positive ground flasher for led lights will be ordered today. Thanks for the responses.

Mine on a 1930 Chrysler 70 measure 18.57mm or .73" in diameter with two contact points. Look just like the ones in your pictures.

www.restorationstuff.com is the one I thought of.

Try Restoration Supply Company in Calif. The have a web site and on line catalog. I think I bought mine from them.

Thanks for the response, I have one on order. Have a great Christmas!
