I picked up a new exhaust manifold to replace the cracked one on my 62 225. It looks newer and stronger than the old unit. It also has a tube, a little larger than 5/16, sticking through the 3rd cylinder(from the front). What's it for and what do I do with it?? Thanks. Joe |

That almost sounds like a casting mistake but I’m not positive what you mean. Any chance you can post a picture? Do you see the same tube in any of these pictures? Danny |

Danny, I think it's your #4 photo that shows the 3rd cylinder with a boss on the top. Mine has a big flat spot with a hole through the top and bottom with a tube going all the way through and sticking out both ends about an inch. It's not the same metal as the manifold. I hope that makes it a little clearer. I hate it when I know what I'm talking about and no one else does. I didn't even have a beer in my hand. Also, when I get both manifolds off, I want to go with new bolts. Would they be a hardware store item or a parts store or MoPar?? Grade 8 or what?? Thanks. Joe |

That tube is used for an optional "carb de-icing" set-up, mostly used in cold weather areas. There is some additional tubing and a special carburetor that is also part of that system. DD |

OK, so what do I do with it?? Not worry about it, I'm using the old girl in the summer so deicing is not a problem. Thanks. Joe |

That's an exhaust manifold used on all 1969 US-market and some 1960-1969 Canadian-market engines equipped with the carburetor anti-ice system (link contains details), and 1967-1975 export engines with the integral-choke 2bbl carburetor. You may safely ignore it if you're not using it. |

Another wealth of information. Thanks. I've already got my Remflex gasket but that was the only thing that I had planned ahead on. The guys at NAPA smile and rub their hands together when they see me come through the door. Thanks again. Joe |
