1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"
Well, I knew it was comin sooner or later. It's had a small exhaust leak the whole time. The manifold system on these ain't the strongest design by a long shot. The center vertical large stud that connects the manifolds together was broken when I got the car. Also, one of the ears where the pipe connects is broken. Plus, the very front nut on the exhaust manifold was backed out several threads and the washer was missing, so I knew there were some issues. The exhaust leak has gone from almost undetectable to Kitty askin "what's that noise?" so it's time to fix everything up right. Got the manifolds off and amazingly, didn't break the first stud. I have a few different manifolds to choose from so I have that part covered.
