78 L48 exhaust manifold wanted

[srs244]

i need a fairly priced, excellent passenger side exhaust manifold for my 78 pace car. unfortunately mine cracked around one of the stud holes on the flange, and i need a replacement. i prefer one without the studs in place, but all considered.

i will buy a pair if necessary.

Wow, I wish I would have know!! I installed sidepipes recently. One of the manifolds looked cracked, so I threw them both away!!

you never know when you will need something you took off. if you possibly can, always save stuff that looks to still be serviceable. you never know when you might need it, or when you might be able to help someone else out with it, lol. i'm very surprised you don't suffer from the disease that most of us do.............hold-on-to-it-itis, lol!! i always think "i can use this again sometime", and it gets shelved. the problem is remembering where it is when you finally get around to needing it. needless to say a good deal of time usually passes between putting it away and realizing that you probably still have it and can now use it, LMAO!!

in checking the hollander interchange manual, it appears that only the right manifold is completely interchangable. if i remember correctly, the 69 driver's side manifold had a mounting bracket built into the front of the casting (the 78 doesn't have it and the left and right sides of the 78 look identical to each other (except for the numbers). i apporeciate your replying however.

i still need a good set of 78 exhaust manifolds, however.
