John, you have a 74, right? It only requires the removal of the exhaust pipe and
the carbs to replace the exhaust manifold. I have an extra manifold that needs a
broken stud replaced or you can drill it out and use a nut and bolt like I have
on my 65, and I will give it to you if you will cover the cost of S&H. I f you
don't have a 74 or earlier.............Never Mind.......................Brad
