In regards to overseas repops- I bought a Fenton intake and Fenton exhaust, and both of them have issues, right out of the box....
The threaded stud holes for the flanges on the exhaust were drilled way off center, causing the exhaust pipe flange to be poorly aligned with the cast iron header.
My brand new water-heated Fenton intake is sucking water in from the heat plenum, causing steam vapor in the exhaust. I verified this by removing both water lines from the manifold and observing a vacuum in both lines. So, I certainly won't be running water heat anymore....
Not impressed with the Fenton manifolds at all....I'm guessing they weren't built this way back in the 50/60's?
