Slant six exhaust manifold choke bucket

Antonio Torres said

My issue was an exhaust leak between head and manifold when o took it apart I noticed two studs on the head where broken thats why it had a exhaust leak when i took it apart the intake from the exhaust manifold one stud was seized so instead of re thread the broken one I throw it away , bought a Dorman brand that was junk , and ended up buying this one but I didn’t noticed that where the choke sits it was open and i can hear the exhaust smell the gases , know with this bowl should fix my issue

there are plenty of members on here who are more knowledgeable on the /6 then i (like @slantsixdan ) but i think you are wrong

the sole purpose of that "bowl" is to provide a warm spot to house the choke thermostat
this is basically a bimetal spring which will pull the choke off when it warms up...and puts it back on when it cools of

it is on the outside of the manifold, there should be NO exhaust gasses escaping from it (and the cover you are looking for is intended to protect that spring, not seal in exhaust gasses

SO, if all that makes sense, they you have one of two different issues
either the new manifold you have is porous and there is an exhaust leak in the well, or the whole thing didnt seal up right
