Re: '71 Chevy got delivered yesterday

So the thing I knew I had to fix when I bought it was a very bad exhaust leak the seller told me it was the donut gasket. Well last night I decided to try to fix it the flange bolts actually came right off then I found out why some already had their hands in there. After I removed the odd items they tried I fit the new donut it made a nice seal so I fired it up only to hear the same leak. Time to go for broke I remove the exhaust manifold without breaking any bolts figuring I am going to find a crack in it all that's wrong is the gasket I bought the 10 dollar gasket cleaned everything bolted it together started her up and it's perfect I am thrilled things rarely go that easy for me . I am liking this truck more everyday although the guys at work can't understand why I am selling an Escalade to drive a 40 year old truck. But who cares I am happy
