Looking for a cast iron welder in the Pacific Northwest

Sounds similar to stopping a crack in plexiglass. What's a rookie to do? Pre '67(?) /6 headers are different from '64 and apparently '64 headers are even more rare because of differences between cars with power steering, auto VS. standard transmission, high or low starter...

People were talking favorably about the old split cast iron manifold mod in another thread. Old timers around here smile while thinking back to their good old days of hot rodding. Looks cost effective compared to $800+ for a pair of Dutras.

In looking for someone to weld end caps on a cut in half cast iron manifold the only person I can find locally is a hobby welder that has never welded cast before but thinks it would be a fun project to learn. The idea of the weld giving out 500 miles from home is not appealing to say the least. :BangHead:
