I KNOW!!!! I jumped out of my seat when she told me that over the phone!
She might be able to find a used manifold for $100 or so (if its still useable) or buy a new one for about $300. If I can see where it is located and how "serviceable" it is, I can put it in for her for FREE in her driveway and get her a smog certificate that same day!
When I heard that price I though..."jeesus does the engine need to be pulled?"
Any help is appreciated, especially a pic or pics
