Manifold bolts - 1939 WC - Help

You may have a bigger project than just putting on gaskets. Sometimes the manifold actually deteriorates to the point that the gasket won't seal. You can often determine this problem by visually looking at the seal area and probing with a wire to determine if there is more than a bad gasket - missing manifold cast iron. I had to take my manifold (from my WC) and put it in a miling machine and resurface the ports until they were all at the same height and all had good metal. I did this on my WC when I got it and later on I did it for a WD as well. You should be able to get this done at any good machine shop. If you can't find anyone to do it, I can do it but you'll have to pay shipping both ways + $20 for my machine and labor. Or you could get a different manifold on Ebay - usually only cost $25 + shipping (potential for manifold having a similar problem). Or a new one goes for about $100 plus shipping. My email is open.
