Intake manifold question 352 1966

They are twist in nails. I've pulled them out before by using vis-grips locked on the head of the nail. I'm assuming you want to clean up the carbon. You can hammer them back in. I usually tap the holes and put small bolts back in. You might need to use a propane torch to heat it up just a little.

I really don't want to go to a 4 barrel , I have another manifold but the motor been in the weather for quite a while but I got it off using the torch and it looks OK. I like to have the exhaust warm the air coming in in the colder months. It makes driveabilty much better when it's not cold stubborn . Problem with 4 barrel is cost to by manifold and carb #1 and if the gas in the back of the carb goes bad from not using the back barrels enough it causes more problems #2 . Thanks for the help .Tom

edit: Regarding the secondaries, you shouldn't have that problem in a 4bbl. The engine idles off of the secondaries as well as the primaries and this keeps fresh fuel coming in.

A guy I met a few years ago back had a cracked manifold like yours. He also wanted to keep the two barrel. He opted to buy an Edel 390 4 barrel manifold, installed a 1/2" thick adapter (4 to 2),and remounted his 2 barrel back on it. Said the thing ran like a scarred ape. He even used the stock carb linkage. Think he said something about needing to bend the linkage a bit.
Nice to get rid of that boat anker manifold.
Just a thought.
