I have a driver side A body big block manifold. It’s a date coded 67. Had to repair the front mounting ear due to it breaking off. Lessons learned, it’s a good idea to take the sharp edges off the front and rear mounting ears. It will reduce the chances of getting a crack.

To make the repair I had the area of the break fusion welded. One I got it back I had the mating surface machined. All that’s left is to whittle down the remaining weld until I get close to the original shape of the tab. Very time consuming being that I have to use a dermal.



I know the repair appears ugly but with a little messaging it will look better.
