Re: acceleration noise found! how to fix??

Andy - It sounds like you are talking about the "heat stove" that 
supplies hot air to the intake for cold start up. There was quite a 
bit of chatter on the list about this part ... apparently it can no 
longer be found. Somebody who is handy with "tin work" could 
probably patch it back together, but you would have to get it off 
first. The rusty studs, etc. could be a problem. You'll have to 
decide how deep you want to go, considering the potential challenges 
with sheared off studs, etc. There was also much talk on the List 
about getting the manifolds off, so there might be some good ideas in 
that thread. Good luck.
