Title: Bottom Exhaust manifold bolt size verify?
Post by: jimc2 on February 21, 2010, 11:14:36 AM

Anybody know what size those 4 bolts are that connect front cat section to the lower exhaust manifold?
I know these show as a $pecial stud on the part diagram, I plan on replacing with stainless bolts, but they are so rusted I can't tell what size 'till
i start cutting etc.
Thanks,
Jim
