I have a 1966 Buick Skylark that ive been in the process of restoring,
while installing a new Y-Pipe the exhuast mainfold cracked. It cracked
by the bolt hole so now it is a slot not a hole. Evertime i try to put
a bolt in it slips right out the slot. I was talking to my local
automotive machine shop and he says just mig weld the bolt it up with
steel wire! Dosent sound too promising to me. Now the manifolds have
never been removed so i dont want ot remove it and crack the bolts.
Can is be welded on the car safely and with a mig Thank You


Think headers and a hot cam and a new carb and....

oops - a slippery slope.
