manifold woes
I got the manifold I ordered and I'm not sure I'll be able to use it. I haven't tried bolting it to the car yet, but there is an obvious bend to the (engine) flange. When laid on a level surface, each end is at least 1/8 - 3/16" away from that surface. It looks like it was warped when it was welded. I have to say, it doesn't look like the prettiest welding job either, but I can live with that. I just don't see any way it will seal. Am I crazy or should I send it back? That is only one Issue I've got with it, but it is the main one. Please let me know if you think this mani will work ok.

No way! I just emailed him about the issues and I'm going to see what he says. I'm not about to bolt that thing up! I can see where my post might have looked like that. Thanks for the tips everyone.
