Depending on your time frame.

1. A spacer can be machined for that gap. 2. Repair the original one.

3. Cut a 2 inch piece of pipe to fit. Use spacers on the bolts. So flange of pipe won't bend.

4. Gerry pac sw might have used heat risers. I can machine one. Mike delinsky. I am sure has them used too.

Gerry is close to me ..

Can't remember. But i think 1-3/4 fits inside. Then you could put 2 inch over the 1-3/4. To fit into manifold.

But the holes need to be welded. Closed. I used jb weld and it blew out. That's if you use packard riser.

I don't have 2-1/4 cold roll to machine spacer. I have aluminum. But that won't fly. Or will it.?..

Thanks. H.

Have to look up penal code. And get these cars exempt. .

If packard did not make it part of manufacture .. And the state did not force dealers to put mirrors on before sale. Then . we cannot be held by that law..

Stewart.

I used a dremil and removed the flap. But after i put the piece in . that cast lip broke and i had an exhast leak.

So i bored it out and put a piece of stainless steel in there. Pic in my blog.

Melling came.

This is my thought .since i have not looked at packard pump or rear main.

But no stuck lifters lately.

Marks on melling where to cut and drill and tap for 5/16ths bolt.

Know now. Cw on. Cc off.

Thanks h...
