Intake Manifold leak
So I have a small pot hole in my IM (67-L79) and coolant is leaking oil. Are there any places that sells good or reconditioned oem replacements or can these be repaired. Thanks for any suggestions.

Please post a picture of the leak. Is it leaking coolant or oil?

If you have sufficient through corrosion to have resulted in a leak, I would wonder if any repair would do any good.
Aluminum 461 intakes are frequently offered for sale, and the date codes are on the bottom and don't show, so you don't have to date match them.

intake leak
my 65 cracked while replacing the temp sending unit, had a welding shop fix it and they also welded up the water ports where they had eroded from the coolant. $100.00 and a $25.00 tip for fixing it
quickly was a lot cheaper than buying a used intake off e-bay and kept the original manifold to the car.
