Talking May Be Getting Free Headers

Got Edelbrock 65022 Headers Came In On A Customers Hummer Leadking... So We Replaced Em... And If The Customer Doesnt Want The Old Ones I Can Have Them...

The Only Problem Is The Passenger Side Header Collector Appears To Have A Small Leak Where The Main Pipes Meet... Will My Wire Feed Mig Welder Be Strong Enough Of A Weld For This? How Hard Should It Be To Repair? Or What Can I Use To Repair It??

Just clean it up real good, wire wheel brush and then wipe it down with acetone before welding, that is what I do. That is if you can get to it.... You might have to do it from the inside..

I assume these are shorties since Edlebrock doesn't make L/T's for our trucks. I'd sell them and spend an extra few on some Long Tubes. It's 100% profit if you get them for free
