Thanks Firebob. I'll probably cough up the 90 bucks to get a new one from Ames or Classic Industries. I just crawled under there again and the half assed exhaust I rigged up with Pep Boys 45 bends off the header collectors will be tough to get to work with the plate. I plan to get some cast iron manifolds and a real exhaust system and then I'll go with the plate. Thanks all for the help.
