[AT] Hole in exhaust manifold....

[charlie hill]

I am a big fan of epoxy but just have never had any experience with one that 
would stand exhaust manifold heat.  PyroPuddy might do it.  I've never tried 
it.  The reason I suggested brazing is that it is as cheap or cheaper to do 
than epoxy and has a better chance of holding.  Of course if Howard doesn't 
have at least a MAP gas torch he can't very well braze it himself but there 
are some guys close to him that can.
