Subject: IML: exhaust manifold studs for chrysler Big Block 413
What are "brash nuts" or was that just a typo? Are they something
miraculous that will dispense with the danger of frozen manifold
nuts/broken studs?

Hi list,
I have finally found myself a good driverside exhaust manifold for my
1960 Imperial.
Last summer I broke the flange of my original manifold (front pipe hit
a large roadbump..) and although it was welded again it still leaks a
little (problably a warped flange due to welding....).
During the removal I snapped 3 manifold studs, they were broken off
flush with the head.
I was able to remove two studs by drilling them out carefully, without
damaging the threads.
Since I couldn't find the manifold studs anywhere I used bolts then to
secure the welded manifold again.
The third broken stud couldn't be removed at that time, there was (and
is..) no room for a conventional drill.
This is the last one on the driverside of the car.
Recently I found my self an angled drill (90 degrees head, total
tickness only 3 inches!), so I should be able to drill that last one
out too! (after preparing myself mentally for this terrible job..)
Then I will be finally able to mount an original exhaust manifold
without any repaired cracks :)
And to do the job real good, I want to replace my 3 broken studs with
new ones.
Does anyone have a source where I can buy
a) 3 new exhaust manifolds studs (stainless steel would be great, but
standard will also do)
b) 6 brash nuts (to avoid future trouble when I ever have to remove
that manifold again, which heaven should forbid!)
Thanks,
Robert
