Has anyone found the preferred position for the exhaust manifold heat deflector
to get frozen (rusted) in? Am I wrong or is this thing the crappiest design to
come along since rust?

The little indicator on the older trucks is often times completely gone, leaving
you to guess which position the deflector is in inside the exhaust manifold. If
you pull the manifolds off, you're asking for a big machinists bill to drill the
broken bolts out of the intake manifold, or even buy a new set of manifolds for
around $190.00.

I don't have much problem since I always convert to an electric fuel pump. Just
wondering if anyone had anysuggestions.
