Dodgenz Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I've been trying to remove the heat riser (?) to repair the cracked manifold on my DA. But it looks like it is going to come off in bits as seems fairly welded in place - i'm not liking my chances. Does anyone know if these are available, or does anyone have one they might sell? Any thoughts or suggestions, or am I going to have to resort to making a flat plate to go over the end of the manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Zetnick Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Here are some photos of exterior assembly and some parts that I used for mine. I was told to soak in oil which I did, but my manifold was in better shape than yours. I don't know that these photos help as I don't have any spare parts. Every so often a manifold comes up on eBay ...the manifold in the 1st photo was for sale this last April...I wonder if calling Myers Early Dodge might help as I got bumpers and a clum switch from their parts cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Is that a crack between the 0 and 4 in the casting number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wire brushed the living stuffing out of it and although it does look like a crack, it is NOT. Looks more like a casting flaw close up.

keiser31 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Mine may be from a DD6 and not a DA6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I may be looking at photos wrong, but to me both keiser’s and dodgenz’s photos look like exhaust pipe connects just under manifold heat control at front of manifold.....this is the way my ‘29 DA is set up.....maybe I’m not seeing something?

Dodgenz Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Yes that looks great. I think it is the same, the outlet is at the front... will PM you Keiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
