went in to clan machine this afternoon and picked up the broken manifold, the guys there did a super job welding it up. john said he ground it all out, v ground, preheated it red hot and welded it up using nichal rod, cooled it slow wrapped in blanket and then remachined carb face.

good job. there is a super good welder, fabricator just west of Edson right before the UFA truck stop , in that big old building. he welded a manifold for me few years back. he used a special rod just for cast i remember and gave me a couple rods. they were very expensive. it was not nickal rod.

Nice job. That cast iron is a pain to weld

Would have used my preferred glue. Sit for 2 minutes and ground off access. Not much heat there anyways.
