My Next Project!

[Born Lucky]

O.K. then here are my plans!
I just finished rebuilding my monojet and just cleaned up my exhaust manifold and intake. I am getting ready for paint, I am using #225 Alpine Green.
Now I am planning on double the gaskets for the exhaust manifold. I have researched and found out that the 292 is a little problem for sealing in this area. Is this a good idea?
Also, I would like to remove my aligment pins and replace with studs for more sealing. How do I remove the pins?

The end studs unscrew I believe as there are bolts on mine on each end of the head, mind you this is a 194 head. It leaks at the rear or #5-6 exhaust port, always needs tightening. Double gasket idea, well we always suggest Felpro Gaskets to our customers. I'll look tomorrow if there's a part # for a better gasket. I'll be doing an installation of a 292 into my 4WD project. The manifold on the running motor has cracked flanges at the doughnut so I'll be switching it out with another.
Hollander Interchange states that 63-64 292 exhaust manifold is different from the 65-72, though the later model bolts onto the earlier head.

You asked for it. I just had to take mine out to put on some headers. As I recall they put up a fight.

Don't you have some burn outs to go do.

Think the paint fumes without a respirator has gotten to you already! That's right I was spying on you!

Photos: Question- If you look at the intake manifold you will see two threaded holes , the large one goes to the PCV and the small one was open.
When I removed the part there was nothing there, just open. So, I look at the manuel and it says nothing. Is it supposed to remain open, uncovered?
Also, I will be cleaning and painting that side of the engine. I know not the way todo it but I figure that as I replace, rebuilt parts around the engine I would clean and paint them.

Automatic transmission vacuum line, Vacuum gauge in the dash, Power Brake booster or even a wolf whistle could have been installed on that port. There was a vacuum manifold that screwed into the large port that split into 3 to help supply the different requirements. The small port has to be blocked off if it leads to the intake plenum as not to loose vacuum.

One more photo with more to come!

Now I am ready to install the rebuilt carb, intake and exhaust manifold(also freshly painted) .
