Hey all, I need a little help with my engine, trying to get the finishing touches done before she's road ready. I couldn't find anything online or in the service manual. I've need to run the vacuum line to the advance on the distributor. I found to cut off lines, one one the intake manifold and one on the carb. I circled both in the picture. Which one does it go to, and what is the other for? Also, what is that unit mounted on the exhaust manifold? It does appear to have a cut off wire, and on the rear there is an arm that moves. I wanted to know what I was dealing with before I removed it and cleaned it up. I've got a lot of pictures here of the project, please take a look. I'm really excited to get this 'ol pickup on the road. Been the funnest project I've done and I'm really happy with how it's going, lots' more to come. https://photos.app.goo.gl/sWeEmPHujXdteZpt9 Also, if there's any suggestions with etiquette for the forum, please let me know.

All, Pulled the engine on the '47 D-24 Deluxe and the exhaust manifold is cracked pretty good. I'm taking it to a welding shop to see what they can do, but despite the posts and others I've spoken to saying a welded manifold "can" work just fine, the "can" part is worrisome. Called around an a refurbished manifold is expensive ~$500. Wondering if anyone makes headers instead or has a lead on getting hands on a new or good condition manifold or a place who makes headers. Thanks.
