Hi all.
I require an exhaust manifold hot box flange assembly to suit a straight 8 engine. Can anyone help?
Regards,

Not quite sure what you mean by "hot box flange assembly." Is that a "down under" term?
If it's the actual exhaust manifold, a parts search shows the 1935 and '36 the same. If it's the heat riser and flange that goes below the exhaust manifold (to the pipe), then 1935-'36, 1937-'38 left hand drive, and 1939 are the same. This may help in parts hunting.
The only places I can think of anymore with the possibility of older cars are: Windy Hill Salvage, French Lake Salvage, and RPM Motorsports all in Minnesota. A search will get their contact info.
Other than locating a used one, I guess you'll just have to comb parts dealers like Kurt Kelsey, California Pontiac Restoration, Kanter, etc. _________________ PontiacRegistry.com... building the single largest source of Pontiac information, services, and entertainment in the world! |

Thanks Larry,
Yes it is an Aussie term. The part I'm after is the heat riser flange assembly.
The vehicle is a Holden bodied rh drive sedan.

That's gonna be tough. Not only rare, but usually quite "welded" to the rest of the manifold. My only suggestion is checking the places I listed as they are about the only ones with any old cars left. Looks like the RHD is going to limit you to the '35 and '36 years. Though I don't know why the '39 is standing out alone.
We've had a couple of others looking for manifold pieces lately too.
If you have something to start with, perhaps it can be repaired. Here is a place that advertises manifold repairing in Old Cars Weekly who perhaps can do a rebuild for you: Prairie Auto Porcelean (in Minnesota) e-mail: tandmsparrow@earthlink.net _________________ PontiacRegistry.com... building the single largest source of Pontiac information, services, and entertainment in the world! |
