Hey fellas, I hope I'm posting this in the right section; guess it could've been posted in several different ones.
Anyway, I discovered my exhaust manifold was cracked, so I removed it and the intake manifold (had the carb off to kit it). Ordered a new manifold, just painted it today with high temp flat black. I also went to a few local stores (including Fastenal) to gather new bolts, studs, and nuts for the manifolds as I hate using the old ones when I do a job like this.
Come to find out that no stores around here have the 2 studs that screw into the exhaust manifold (they are 4.5" long and go through the intake manifold to hold the 2 together). So I've been soaking those studs in hopes that I can get them out.
In case I can't, I'm wondering if anyone here has a source for new studs?
3/8-16 on the end that screws into the exhaust manifold, and 3/8-24 on the end that slips through the intake.
I know you guys will have some answers, and I truly appreciate any help. Just wanna get the old girl put back together and running again so me and my family can enjoy it....
