    I have a 235 manifold with a broken ear for the exhaust outlet. other than that, it is perfect. I have another manifold that isn't broken, but the heat riser is wobbly where it goes through the body. What would you do?

    I'd put a new spring on the flapper and use it .

    The broken ear one, is toast , remove the intake part and toss it out .

    Remember : truck 235 intake manifolds are different ! they have drilled & tapped holes for the horn mount .

    The flapper one had about 1/4" of movement in the hole. I have a perfect 216 manifold..........of course.
