Anybody had any luck welding an intake manifold (B manifold)? Yesterday was torquing the intake down & was on the last bolt on right front torquing to 25 pounds & it broke that ear off. Is right in the water jacket so it leaked the water out of the manifold & radiator hose. Turkey Run is coming up & I don't have much time. Of course there isn't one for a decent price on ebay (there's usually 2 or 3 at any given time). I'm thinking I can get it welded & not tighten it quite so tight because all it does is seal water & not the ports themselves.
