Help, intake manifold for Webers cracked!
Motor is a '72T w/ Webers.
After bead blasting i noticed a crack at the base of one manifold. The crack appears to have been caused by over tightening of one of the bolts and is fairly deep. I have a few questions on this; -What are my manifolds made of? They are very light and were covered in a tough black finish. -How would this be fixed and, more importantly, WHO should i send it to? -Does anyone have an extra manifold for Webers or have an idea of what they sell for? Thanks, I am stressing big time on this! Erik

Just epoxy over the crack on the outside. You just have to prevent a vacuum leak there.

eagle the 'tab' that is cracked appears to be close to breaking and i'm not sure epoxy would hold when the manifold is bolted to the heads.
