    1990 454 exhaust manifold replacement

    1990 454 exhaust manifold replacement

    Yeah you don’t need to replace your manifolds for that. We have a local exhaust guy that basically makes a living drilling out broken and retapping broken studs it’s easy with the right tools. I’d take it off and take it to a competent shop and keep your factory manifolds.

    Well looks like $2300 for the intake and valve cover gaskets and oil change and the trans rebuild so I believe he gave me a pretty good deal.

    Starter not working after replacing A/C controller

    Sounds like the ignition switch. Had an appointment a few weeks ago, drove the truck no issues got done went out to leave, no crank. I was around 179000 miles at that point. Ignition switch failed instantly no prior warning or issues. Really easy to check though you can plug the new switch in...
