The Chrysler slant six manifold in my Massey swather used to run pretty hot 
too. I recall parking it one evening and standing beside the engine gazing 
in amazement at the glowing red exhaust manifold. Looked like something just 
pulled out of the blacksmith's forge. Surprising considering how many cracks 
it had for ventilation.
