Leaky Exhaust Manifold
The passenger side exhaust manifold on my 69 leaks right where it meets the exhaust pipe. I've tighted up the two bolts on it, but it still leaks out of the sides (90 degrees from the bolts). Is there some sort of gasket that I can put in there or something to stop the leak? Thanks

I got the steel ring and got it on. A few things that I learned the hard way is that you want to undo both sides so you can get the pipe off the manifold without the use of pry bars, which leads to boogering up the pipe and having to "customize" the ring to get it on. Also, do not lose or break those studs. I lost one (I swear I kicked underneath the pickup) and had a heck of a time tracking down another 7/16" stud......never did find one, but I found something that should work.
