In the US I had to get those from Ford, I am not sure you will need to replace it if you use a metal based sealer (I use one called "Coppercoat". You can also use a regular gasket between it and the cylinder head. Manifold casting number looks similar to my old left side one. Yours just never had the air pump system to the manifolds. Dorman products has a replacement, but with the holes which can be plugged, PN is: 674-226 for the right side. Good luck with it! Nice 50th birthday gift!
That's what I was thinking. Makes me think of my trip to Normandy. On one of the gun emplacements there was a weld that gleamed - after 60 years. It was a beautiful weld and apparently of stainless. So someone knows how to weld.
I can weld it myself at my company. we have a cast welding procedure with a few time upheating and downcoolings, but I has to build a jig for the manifold that takes too much time. the manifold has minimum 7 cracks I can see with my eyes, there will be more after a flux check.
the one on the left also has cracks.
with a little luck I has just find a matching set manifolds.
Victor Reinz makes those metal heat shield type gaskets. The part number is MS15205. Don't use the standard fiber type gaskets. They will eventually burn through and blow out. With your manifolds, I think you'd be much better off replacing it. Also, check your ignition timing once you get it running again. If the timing is retarded too much it can cause higher exhaust gas temperatures since the mixture is still burning as it exits the cylinders and enters the manifolds, which in turn can lead to cracked manifolds from the excessive heat.
little update:
finding a manifold from a LINCOLN...??? that fits my truck.
al inside stuff's alredy painted
finaly gett'n the gate strait, that thing was a piece of junk.
I find no other, so I have to cut it into two halves, reline/repressed it and weld it back together
so I have two quetions: whats the right sequence for the fender/door mount. the doors first, or the fenders before the doors, to align it propperly.
I noticed that the fuelline has a T-fitting between the fuelpump and the carb, that goes right into the returnline. I cant see any checkvalve or reg.valve there. is that right?
On the fuel line, the T-fitting is a vapor separator and makes me wonder if your truck originally had the hot fuel handling package with the electric in-tank pumps. Most if not all trucks sold here with air conditioning and in hot areas came with it, one of the components was that vapor separator.
On the doors and fenders, I would do the doors first, hopefully Gary Lewis will chime in as he has just reassembled a truck.
Yes, doors first. My paint/body man said the doors align with the cab itself. The bed is then bolted to the frame, and the cab aligned with the bed by tightening the cab's mounts and/or shimming. Then the radiator support goes on and the fenders are hung, and you align the fenders with the cab with shims and shim the radiator support to make the body lines run straight.
