Thanks, I was wondering how much tension to put on a cold spring, the answer I guess is "not much". As I said the valve or flapper fits loose on the shaft, I will probably use a small screw or two to hold it in place, and hope they don't get pulled into the engine. I don't weld, I wonder it solder would hold, but I don't want pieces of solder falling off either. Also, the flapper does not fit closely when closed, looks like there will still be considerable exhaust heat going into the intake manifold, seems to me that would hurt performance -- I was a little surprised to see that it had one, those things can cause more problems than good. I don't believe I ever want to separate the exhaust and intake mainifolds on a 48 year old 460 again. No choice but to break the bolts, drill out and retap. Not as easily done as said.
