This is a picture of the Manifold I purchased for $50. Very good shape.
-
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
-
I know that someone explained how you put a picture on a Post, but I forgot. Can someone please tell me how you do it. PLEASE!
-
Didn't get the air cleaner. Didn't need that part, even though the guy I got it from probably has it. All I needed was the Exhaust manifold itself. The guy I purchased it from has the whole truck, a 1927 Dodge Brothers, Flat Bed, and is selling it as is. Says it's complete (except for the manifold). Said he would part it out. I can get info if you need anything.
I would post a picture of the manifold, but don't remember how you do it. : )

Just bought one, paid $50 for it. Its for a 27 Dodge 4screen.
-
Can't offer anything on the Dodge, but what about that VW, is it complete? For Sale maybe? Where you at?
-
I may have one! Will have to sort through my stuff from our restoration, but as I recall, I may have one (used) still in the shipping box that I got my replacement for our restoration. I don't remember if it was working or not, but I will see if I can dig it out.
-
Any ideas on what shipping would be to California? (Zip 93436)
-
Interesting....Anyone have a guess at what year it from?
I may be interested, but I will have to find the funding, since my Paddy Wagon's upkeep is based on donations.
But, "I'll be back" to check on this one.

Thanks to both of you!

Looking for a pair of OEM Headlight lenses. I currently have clear glass and would like original with the diffusers on the glass.
If you have some that are in good shape, please get hold of me. juantejeda@yahoo.com

Dang.....
Machinist_Bill, you do good work! If, the manifold I got doesn't work, I will definitely be back in touch! Thanks for all your help!

Actually the trans was rebuild as part of the restoration. The restoration was in 1999. The car only has about 6000 miles on it since the restoration and the tranny has been serviced at least three times during this time period. I have had problems with it for some time, heating up during slow, cruising speeds and parades and leaking problems. The tranny shop I used has not been able to figure out where the leak is actually coming from. It seems to leak when it sits in the garage. I also noticed that when I drive it slow, cruising, the fluid seems to leak (expand) and leak and I end up over heating and getting lots of smoke when the fluid hits the hot parts of the engine.
Just don't know???? Recently, when I was going to go to a local gathering (our Donut Derelicts group) it would not engage, seemed to slip in all gears. I finally got a little reverse, after letting it warm up and adding some fluid, but so far I have not been able to drive it. I am planning on taking it to the shop in January.
-
@Jim
Thanks for that info, I had no idea that the fluid would be different. I wonder if that could cause my problem?
Do you by chance know what kind of symptoms using the wrong fluid might cause?
-
Thanks Jim. I'll pass this on to the guy that's going to work on the Tranny. He is a good mechanic and so far he has been familiar with all the stuff I have brought to him. I don't know anything about Magna flux or how it works, but I will talk to him and see what he says.
Thanks again.
-
Oh! Here is a picture of the manifold I picked up. Just hope there are no surprises.
By the way, they guy that sold me the manifold wants to get rid of the rest of the truck. Its a 26-27, I believe and is a flat bed. Says that all is there, just in need of restoration. Said he would let it go for $1400.

@Machinist _Bill
Dang! Looks like you really know what your doing!
Again, THANK YOU all for the the help. I am sure I will be on here again, we all know that this is an on going venture, never ending, keeping these jewels going. At least, now I can relax a little and put some time into my 59 TBird. Got to get that tranny fixed!
Merry Xmas to all and hope we all have a great New Year!

@NTX5467
Thanks for that info. I'll make sure that we look into the "Failsafe" if and when I have to replace them again. So far so good.
-
Just want to thank everyone for all your help. The guy from Ventura, CA came through and the manifold is an exact replacement for my manifold. It seems to be in very good shape. We haven't put it on but I'm pretty sure it will workout just fine.
Thanks again to everyone......

You might try spraying the tip (bottom) with a CO2 fire extinguisher. That may be cold enough to bring it back down and safer than liquid Nitrogen. Those pressurized air cans used for cleaning computers are also pretty cold.
Just a thought!

Yes they are, as the old saying goes, "There is one born every minute" or is it second....
The way they get your email is that they break into someones email account. Once they have your long on they send out the emails to all the people you have on your address book. They break into many email accounts and do it to many people at the same time. The person who's email account is violated has a hard time taking corrective action because the first thing they do when they break into your account is change the Log-on so that you can get back into your account.
What a scam!

Hello all, I'm Juan (TJ), a retired Cop from Cali. I've been around for awhile, but have never introduced myself, other than making a few posts here and there.
I have a 59 Thunderbird, a 27 Dodge Brothers 4screen which actually belongs to the Sheriff's Department where I was employed, but since I was the one that got it restored about 20 years ago, I now take care of it, show it and pretty much am responsible for it. We, my son and I have also had a 73 Mach I Mustang, an 85 Mustang and we have a 68 VW Bug.
Anyway, thanks for all the help through the years!
Juan

You are probably right about being modified, my current set-up is not welded. and the nut with notches had to be reproduced when we did the rest as we could not find a replacement for the original. Hope we don't have a hard time getting this one off. If worse comes to worse I guess we can cut the exhaust pipe and weld our pipe onto the replacement. Although we are pretty sure we can get it off.
