This day can bite my but.

Just finished an aw-**** on my 68 GTS. Had a constant exhaust tic on the driver side manifold. I tightened the nut and heard a distinct crack. Threw a flashlight on the front of the manifold and I found a crack. When I pulled the manifold the front tab fell off. The front bolt tab on the driver side manifold broke all the way into the port. Those manifolds don't grow on trees. Had a new tab fusion welded but it's going to take some time to whittle it back down. In the meantime I found a set of manifolds at a reasonable price.

Just finished it off yesterday. No exhaust leaks. It's a good feeling to finally fix the problem
