Exhaust

[anthonys48]

I need someone to tell me how to fix a exhaust leek on my 48 plym.

[Plymouthy Adams]

is it leaking the manifold due to a crack, or manifold to engine, manifolds split joint, heat riser shaft, manifold to header pipe, header to muffler, muffler, or rear tail pipe..

[Don Coatney]

I see you also have a Model A. If it had an exhaust leak how would you fix it? Exhaust systems work the same way on most cars.

They are different on Plymouths because of the positive ground.

[Frank Elder]

Don,.....can you smell something onion like? That will lead you to the source of the matter.....

Aren't Model A Fords also positive ground?

[desoto1939]

Yes Model A is positive ground. What does the grounding have to do with this question?

The manifold intake permits the mixture of the air and gas to atomize and then be sucked into the appropriate intake value and then into the cylinder at the appropriate time to be fired. The on the exhaust stroke the exhaust value open that the exhaust goes out the exhaust manifold throught the muffler and tailpipe.

Time to change the oil

Old school  Start the car, plug the end of the exhaust with a rag ( preferable not one soaked in gas) this will exacerbate the leak and should allow you to pinpoint it.  wouldn't the exhaust since the system is connected to ground reflect the chassis grounding??????
