So everyone has been so great, and I am near the end..... at least for now.....

All back together, oil pressure sender wire attached, and started the car and the exhaust was leaking like a son of a gun.... or so I thought......

Went through checked all my gaskets and torque specs and couldn't figure out the problem til I put my hand behind the exhaust near the firewall and felt a very strong warm breeze..... from a big freakin hole that my old manifold did not have......

Guessing EGR? What would you recommend to close it up? Just a bolt and Lock washer?





Thanks Again
Jeremy

And yes I am going to buy the books soon.... well once I find a job......

Yes, plug it with a brass plug if you can if not, use a stainless steel bolt and lock tight.

There are a lot of hole plugging ideas in THIS THREAD.

Danny

What the hell is THAT!? First time I've ever seen a threaded hole in that location. Is it supposed to be for an O2 sensor?
I suggest you figure out the threads and get a proper plug for it. If the plug has to be steel, put some copper-based anti-sieze on it before threading it in......and do the same for those bolts holding the exhaust pipe flanges together.

Roger

thanks all

Yes, it's an O2 sensor port.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Just put an O2 sensor in and wire it up to a gauge and see how your carb is doing (and use the data subjectively to dial in the mix and your timing a bit better...)
