[oletrucks] 1955 265 Exhaust Manifold Leak

[McGillis@aol.com]

The passenger side exhaust manifold on my 265 V8 is leaking badly around what 
appears to be a 1" X 3" sheet metal cover on the side of the manifold facing 
the valve cover.  Do I need to pull the manifold to repair this?  Does anyone 
know why there is a covered port there?  I cannot imagine any reason for it.

Thanks,
