Hello,
I need the pipe that goes from the exhaust manifold to the stock air cleaner, mine cracked and dont know if i need it so it doesent get too hot in there, Any ideas where to get it ??

Just about any auto parts store has replacement heat riser ducting.

Is yours a rigid steel tube or a piece of lightweight flexible tube? If it's the flexible ducting, they're available in various diameters at any parts store.

It ducts warm air off the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner. This helps in cold weather. Probably no need to rush on that, this time of year.

ok also how would i go about tightening the exhaust manifolds ?

 

[CANTED]

Are they leaking? How rusted do the bolt/nuts look?

i think i heard an exhaust leak but i remembered i didnt have the heat riser tube on them and yes they look rusty and i was just gonna tighten them to be safe

If you have a leak you might need to change the exhaust gaskets ??:dontknow:

Soak the bolts/nuts with a penetrating oil for a day first. You dont want to snap one off.

Have a Question? Not running a stock air cleaner is it ok to cap off the exhaust vent? I'm getting some fumes from the outlet.

 

[CANTED]

It's just a sheet metal cover over the manifold to collect heat. If you have fumes, you have something leaking.

Don't Hear anything.Is it possible have a crack but still not letting me hear it?

Check around the carb. by the fuel filter and fuel pump underneath. Also get a small propane torch and go around and see if the engine idle changes and the charcoal canister my be clogged.:dontknow:
