I recently bought a 1966 M35A2. This is leaking fuel from the end of it. I think this has to do with the Intake Manifold Flame Heater. Can this be repaired or do i need to find a replacement? If I do need to find a replace does anyone know where I might find one. Thanks

I opened mine and replaced the O-Ring inside. It fixed the leak. Do not know if the valve would work right - never tried it after.

I had one I replaced the o ring and two more I just took the whole thing out. Never really have the occasion to use it.

Mine is still working and does help start on colder days. I will pull it off and try replacing the oring. My truck has not been modified and want to keep it as close to original as I can

Mine was leaking right onto the turbo. I just bypassed it. I have no problems starting on a cold day without the flame heater.

Do you remember where you got an o-ring from or the size

Do you have the old one? If you have a Grainger's nearby they can give you a pack of 10. I just did this a few months ago with a 5 inch or so o-ring for my backhoe hydraulic filter. $17 or so for a bag of 10.

(They don't sell one at a time.)
