I'm glad you did as I suggested. Even if the threads are looking bad, the pipe tap will still probably be a good choice. Tool stores sell them, but they are pricy (ergo the rental) finding a l=commercial plummer is also an option of choice (friendly is best, or it could cost more than the tap) get it aligned perfectly with the old threads and keep it lubricated with ATF. Turn in 1/8th turn, back off turn in a bit more, back off till the cutting edges clear the cut behind go slow, it is a one time thing and will be fine if approached with tenderness.

Replacement manifolds are available (try to get a unit cast in the US.

If threading will not work at all, and a new manifold is beyond reason, buy a ---schedule 80--- black Iron 2" NPT coupling and weld it to the top of the manifold with Nickel Rod.
