Some California big blocks were equipped with air pumps in ’72.




My Imperial is a Kalifornia car with a smog pump. Last time I had it out the fitting broke off the passenger side exhaust manifold. It now sounds and looks like a trailer park queen.

I plan on turning a slight taper on a piece of steel using the lathe and banging it into the hole on the manifold. That should make for a decent temporary fix.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
