After checking my Fleetwood for the upcoming season and our Cadillac Club meeting in May unfortunately I found three!! 1 to 1 ½ inch cracks in my RH exhaust manifold. They currently are not very large and it seems to be quite new. As we all know they are hard to get in 'untcracked' condition .
I'm currently looking for a good one, so if somebody knows somebody who has one for sale, I would be very happy.
Now I'm thinking about to install a short exhaust flex pipe between the RH manifold and the Y-connection of the exhaust. at the bottom to reduce the vibrations and tension when the exhaust pipe expands when heated up. Of course the flex pipe shouldn't be too flexible, because the first part of the exhaust and the middle muffler is hold on it place by nothing else, except the manifolds.
Any recommendations about my idea? Did anyone out here already installed a exhaust flex pipe?
Looking forward for this discussion.

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
