Hello list,
I am searching for a little part that is keeping my Spitfire off the road
and I am getting sick of looking for it! Help!
My car has had its air pump removed, and that leaves a hole in the exhaust
manifold... a hole which was plugged with something that blew out somewhere
along Interstate-90. The car is now incredibly noisy as you might imagine,
so I haven't been driving it.
The hole that was plugged is actually a hole through a fitting that screws
into the exhaust manifold. This fitting is threaded on the outside,
non-threaded on the inside, and, of course, it is stripped and mangled and
generally not usable. What I really want is a solid fitting that matches
the outside threads, so I can screw it in the manifold and plug the opening
for good.
The trouble is, I can't find anything to match the thread, and I don't
think the major parts suppliers have anything like this because it would
not be a "stock" part. Anyone have any ideas/info/part numbers?
Thanks for any help,
Eric.
