thanks guys.ended up using some ezy-flow 45 silver braze i had on hand. it flowed in nice.installed the part last nite,toped off the coolant,rolled her 6 times with a weak battery and grinned ear to ear as she came to life like i had just shut her off the day before.thanks to everyone for the advice since i discovered this site last month.iv'e learned a lot.
merry christmas

Al,
Just my $.02 worth. I'd braze that part with a low temp thin flowing nickel bronze. The bond temp will be 1400°F. Even the old Phos-bronze is only 1800°F.

The melting temp of the casting is 2300°F and the melting temp of nickel is 2647°F in the pure state.

A far cry I might add from the temps outside around here. Had to fill the wife's cat feeder with bird bait every day now for the past week or so. Had trouble getting it pryed off of the tree branch every time.

Hi Al, Sure you can gas weld it and since it such a small part, I would jig it, v- notch, and braze using a good ni-cad arc welding rod as a filler rod cause it would be a strong joint when done and already has a good flowing flux.
