Thermostatic Spring Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pvienneau · 02-23-2014, 08:56 AM

Hello all, looks like I need to replace the thermostatic spring on the exhaust manifold. Does anyone have any suggestions on replacing the spring and reconditioning the rest of the unit? Seems crazy to recondition the manifold and not recondition that part of it. I have the 51 engine in a 49 AD PU. Here is a good picture and description of the unit. The 3 parts are the spring, counter wheight and pin. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com...51ctsm0605.htm

Any help is greatly appreciated.
