    Who knows what the pipe with all the curves that conects in the top of the manifold is? We took my manifold off to replaces the gasket and cracked the pipe.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sounds like you're talking about the exhaust manifold.

    If its exhaust its either the choke heat tube or the air injection tubes for the smog pump.

    A picture would be one way to get a real answer. Short of that, a discription using measurements and real, complete part names would be the next best thing.
    I'd like to help but from what you have said it could be any of the real things mentioned. You need to pin it down for us.
