[DML] Re: Exhaust Gasket and Air Inlet

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Dave,

It is not necessary to remove the engine to replace the exhaust manifold
gaskets. Purchase the Exhaust Manifold Service Kit which includes all of the
items necessary to do a complete exhaust restoration job. Driving the car
with the heat stove duct disconnected will not have any adverse effects.

Be aware that the exhaust gasket replacement is not a shadetree project,
replacing broken studs and resurfacing the manifolds are part of a
successful job. Your local reliable import service facility should be able
to handle the job.
