Look at my shiny manifold

Pretty pleased with that, from Fisher.
Just like to point out that
Yes, the garage/car does need a good clean up but we'd been in there 11 hours today

Yes I know the one headlight looks funny, we'd taken it offto give us better access to fit the alternator Rescued attachment C4.jpg

Is that rubber water pipe over the top of your exhaust manifold going to be OK? Looks like it might get a bit hot.

The mainfold will have exhaust wrap, but I did wonder, may invest in some ally pipe.

Can't you run the coolant pipe under the manifold?


norfolkluego - 27/2/10 at 10:58 PM

The picture gives a slightly false impression of how close it is, it looks as though it's resting on the manifold but it's not

nice setup not sure about radiator hose

The rad hose on my pinto goes under the manifold with know issues.

If you are woried about the heat from the manifold, make a heat shield/duct like I did. Works a treat.

Would you mind me asking how much that cost from Fisher?

Very nice manifold that

I have that manifold. Quite a nice bit thing, i did have to clan a bit of splatter off mine though.

I have my coolant pipe going under the manifold. No trouble. If you wrap it it works quite well.

I paid i think 250 for mine a couple of years ago. Probably more now.

Very nice. Presumably the rubber pipe will be okay because it will continuously have coolant running through it keeping it cool
