Exhaust manifolds, "A26" 4-2-1 refurbished + other items

[Chris#51EPGraham]

These three manifolds are ready to go except for actually installing

air injector port NPT plugs. Gasket surfaces cleaned up. Header

pipe stud holes are neatly drilled out so you can use common 5/16"

stainless bolts instead of M8 studs. Stainless bolts will put an end the

rusted stud nightmare forever.

 

The air fitting holes are drilled out and tapped deep down to the edge

of the exhaust passage for best possible flow. The extra depth requires

using socket head NPT plugs, but I'm waiting to order these pending

interest.

 

I'm thinking $50 each + shipping, or $45 each + shipping if you want to

go find your own NPT plugs. Victor Machinery has these in boxes of 100

@ about 30 cents each, but hardware stores won't generally have them.

 

 

 

 

Door sill trim plates:

510 2 dr main (long, in front) doorsill trim plates, have two pairs ---------$30/pair +shipping

 

510 2 door extra LEFT/DRIVER'S side sill plate ----------------------------- $15 + shipping

 

510 2 dr rear sill trim plates, got one pair -------------------------------------- $20/pair + shipping

 

 

69 - 70 "1600 OHC" style valve covers, have two:

Better one - oil cap's not rusty, was kept clean but oily ---------------------------------------- $30 + shipping

 

Second one needs work, was painted metallic silver, cap rusty ------------------------------ $20 + shipping

Late style "DATSUN OHC" valve cover:

This one's clean in and out, in very nice shape -------------- $30 + shipping

Do you have the downpipe to those manifolds?

Not really. I have a couple of the upper collector part that a good

fabricator could build a new system off of.

 

Here's an NOS one on Ebay for $26.99:

There are any number of machinists here on ratsun who can make header

flanges, and pipe fabricators who could build an exhaust system off such

a flange from scratch. Stock replacement downpipes seem to be NLA, but

everyone wants a larger custom diameter anyway.

That is not what I was asking about.

I was asking for the Y pipe.

 

Still have at least one of these though?

And I'm assuming this is in fact an L16 manifold.

I think it is Mklotz that has the y-pipe flanges (three bolt/ two pipe) that you can build your pipe from.

I know.

All I did was ask if he had one.

Thnx though.

He also made a run of wheel bearing spacers for old trucks to solve an NLA

bearing issue.

By "upper collector part" I mean Y-pipe.

 

The Ebay item I linked to IS a Y-pipe with the forward pipe

section and middle muffler all in one piece, NOS. That seller

knocked it down from around $79 to $26.99.

 

I have two of the Y-pipes cut off short that a good fabricator

could build a new system off of. They're nothing to write home

about, but could be recycled.

Yes, I still have all three of the A26 manifolds pictured. Also

have a fourth one cheaper but not as good.

 

These are all square port 4-2-1 L16 manifolds from 69 - 71-ish

PL510's and a 1970 521 in one case. To my knowledge, they'll

work fine on all square port L16's, L18's and L20b's because the

exhaust port dimensions/bolt pattern remained the same on all

those heads. They will not work on round port L20b heads from

1979-80.

 

Technically, I should call them "4-into-2" since the Y-pipe is not

included. I don't have any of the later ribbed 4-into-1 style left.

Any exhaust for the A series ?
