So I thought I'd share...
The air rail on a late 6 is prone to rusting out. So over the years I would collect manifolds with air rails to stock pile them. These buggers have been NLA for a longer time than I've owned the car. Sure, I could remove all the emission crap, but I tend to be a purest. Also, now living in oregon, they do emission testing - unlike Maryland.
Well,...
Years ago I repaired one by having someone braze the brake lines I bent and attach to the original pipe. Currently I am taking a welding class and have access to wonderful machines and decided to MAKE a complete air rail. It has been a challenge finding correct parts but I did it and properly drilling holes and bending steel tubes. Tonight I plan to start welding/brazing the tubes together!
Exciting to make a part from scratch. It's a lot of work but fun.
Thought I'd share my latest project.
