1964 crossover pipe delete plate
1964 crossover pipe delete plate
I'm looking for the plate that blocks off the cross over pipe inlet on the right side manifold for a dual exhaust set up, 1964 394 engine, Dynamic 88. I'm converting single exhaust to duals. I could try to fabricate something, probably not hard, but if the actual part is available I'd prefer that.
I think there was an OE cap available. This would be handy for a concours restoration. As mentioned, if this cap becomes available it's probably as rare as hen's teeth.
Don't forget that you could remove the exhaust manifold and have the crossover welded shut. @Oldsguy had the exhaust manifold on his 69 Delta 88 modified this way.

I can't recall what shape and thickness those block off plates are. If you make one for passenger side, wouldn't you need to make one for the drivers side to eliminate the crossover pipe ?
All you should need is 3/8: or 1/2" thick cold rolled steel. You can fabricate a gasket if you have a leak,

Get a piece of 1/8 thick steel plate .
Using the gasket as a guide, cut a three cornered piece .
Round the sharp corners off, then drill 3 holes, again using the gasket as a guide.
Use a regular flat exhaust gasket between the plate and the manifold.
