Re: Exhaust studs?

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, I suggest you buy one of the kits from one of the Mopar vendors. A 
friend of mine had all kinds of problems with his manifold coming loose and 
leaking on his 440 until he bought and installed the correct studs and nuts 
from one of these kits. And I don't know of anybody who's had good luck with 
using stainless steel hardware on exhaust manifolds or headers. It seems 
like they contract and expand at a different rate than the block and come 
loose.
