place a nut over the broken stud and weld it in the middle - then heat the surrounding area and slowly loosen and tighten it until it will come out nicely. Its just aluminum and could possibly pull the threads out with it. Just takes patience and the right tools. I'm restoring a 1970 Saab Sonett right now also.
If I had the equipment for that (and a garage that can handle my drill press), it's the first thing I would have done. Wouldn't have even bothered with any other extraction method. I just don't have a welder yet, it's next on my list of tools, followed by a lathe and Mill. I got the “new” manifold for only a few bucks so I would call that a win anyway but I can always come back for the original once I'm properly tooled up.
Smart to replace in these cases 👍👍
And now I have 2 to play with, that's a bonus.
G'day cool update
