The heat riser is missing on my updraft manifold. I see heat risers for V8s on eBay. Could I use the flapper & spring for my manifold? I could not find a repair kit for a Chevy 6. Could anyone school me on the best possible way to install the missing heat riser. All this provided I can separate the manifold successfully. Thanks

Chaz,

After you separate your manifold, when you put it back together, tighten all the bolts holding both manifolds to the head first with brass nuts(if you ever want to take it apart again) before you tighten the bolts holding them together.

Jim Carter and others sell the bimetallic coil spring. I don’t know if anyone reproduces the flapper parts.
