C1 intake manifold crack repair

[Charles C.]

I have a crack in the aluminum intake manifold on a '61 FI engine. Can anyone recommend a repair specialist for this problem.

Thanks.

Charles,

Where are you located? I used a skilled aluminum welder who did a great job on my '61 2 x 4 manifold (the front ear had a crack). I live in NJ and simply opened the phone book, spoke to a few shops then picked the one that I felt had the best handle on what needed to be done. You want good penetration but not a pile of extra weld goob on the outside. The experienced welders know that it's all in the prep. They should also have an apprecation for the value of your part that is going to be left in their hands.
