Weep hole Muffler
I was just curious if there should be a weep hole in the muffler. Mine does not have one.

Mine doesn't have one either, I don't think they're supposed to. A definitive answer would be to call Aires though, they use original Ford prints to make their mufflers.

Re: Weep hole Muffler
It wouldn't hurt to put one in, especially if you often take short trips.

Re: Weep hole Muffler
I don't start my antique cars unless they will be driven for at least 30 minutes, and that should be enough time and heat to get rid of condensation.
Besides that, I have a stainless Aires, which won't rust out. LOL |

Re: Weep hole Muffler
I'm with Jim! Back in the 70's, I used to drill a hole in the muffler of every car I had - it was a pretty standard practice amongst my friends then.

Re: Weep hole Muffler
My uncle had a new '57 Chevy, with dual pipes. He hardly ever drove more than 4 or 5 miles at a time, so the mufflers rotted out quickly. I suggested he put glass-packs on it, long ones to keep it quiet. That pretty much solved his problem. Glass-packs are made of thicker metal.
