Don't ever let it get near a fire either. It will burn very hot for a very long time.
I will not use one of the things in Magnesium. Tom Vaught

I think these magnesium parts are great in survival situations!  http://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Swede...re+Starter+Kit INSTRUCTIONS 1. Using the flat edge of the striker, shave the block to create a small pile of magnesium alloy. 2. Prepare your tinder next to the magnesium alloy pile. 3. Hold the flat edge of the striker against the top of the flint at a 45° angle. Slide firmly down the flint to create sparks. Allow sparks to fall onto magnesium alloy pile. 4. Use magnesium alloy to ignite tinder. Place burning tinder into fire. Don't suffocate the fire - build fire slowly using small pieces of wood.

That's why it is so light. A friend of mine was working on a ford pick up, the radiator support was magnesium. He had it on the floor and wanted to see how it burned.He was changing it. He took a torch to it. It got going, he got scared, said it was like a huge road flare that he could not put out! He almost called the fire dept. had to let it burn out.

The one you have is aluminum. The original Doug Nash was magnesium- rare

A Intake like that could have a lot of potential as the runners were very good for the time and can be welded on and made even better. Deal is getting someone to weld a lot on the thing vs just buying a Victor Dominator intake for a few hundred $ makes more sense. You bought a piece of Pontiac History, a point in time. Just like buying an old 1962 421 SD intake manifold. Cool to look at but not much good in today's performance game. Tom Vaught

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
