IF I needed to use the car because of dire need, I'd do a repair as a temporary fix while I wait for the OEM part to be delivered so I could fix the problem properly.

I agree 100%. It's temporarily fixed. i took it for a test drive Sunday afternoon and it's holding up very well. The OEM part is on it's way and should arrive in a few days. Rockauto had it in stock for a good price.

Remove manifold, cut out that portion from the manifold and install a brass fitting. Then cut the clip on line so it is just a tube and install a rubber hose and add clamps. Not the most elegant looking solution, but no need to go and buy a whole manifold to fix that.

I have never thought much of krazy glue. But JB Weld is the bomb. Years ago, I had a coolant leak in a LG4 305 motor. Pulled the aluminum intake to find a corroded mating surface that was easily a tablespoon in volume. Filled it with JB. Sanded the next day. Slapped it back on and it never leaked again.
