John,
JB weld will last about 3 or 4 hours. I actually got 8 hrs once. That
might be long enough to pass emissions! I may have a manifold for you off a
78, I'll check if it has the need fittings (EGR and AIS). The 78 I am
restoring has a pacesetter header with an EGR fitting, so I know they are
(were) made.

Subject: Need a late exhaust manifold...
I have the smog stuff together, now I just have to find a replacement
exhaust manifold for my 1980 Spit (it has the EGR fitting and a single
connection for air injection just above where the cat bolts on). My
current one (surprise surprise) has cracked and won't pass emissions due
to a "sample dilution" failure. I'd love to just get a header system,
but do they have any that could keep the cat? Anyone know how picky CA
is about this sort of thing -- would they care about a header if I could
keep the cat in the system? Any suggestions on a source (already tried
Spitbits and Britcars)? Anyone know how long JB Weld will hold...
Thanks,
John Weale
