Hey guys. Did a valve job on my wifes 56 olds. The shop that I took the heads to took some studs out of the heads that the exhaust manifold bolts on. Well....where do they go? Looks like there is two on the p*** side of the car the lower two closest to the fire wall... Any where else???
Are you sure the studs you speak of aren't mistaken for the ones that go on the intake side in the middle with the big fat washer that clamps down. If you insist there are studs on the exhaust side, my guess would be the ends - isn't the exhaust manifold bolt holes slotted on the ends so the bolt slips in. Regardless,bolts will work just fine.
i would like to help BUT..my 56 didnt have a engine in it..and my exhaust was a rusted mess that actually fell out as i moved it on to the flat bed...i will be paying close attention to what people tell you...after all i can use it good luck..post picks of your car..i would love to see it
I searched through the pictures from my rebuild, and it looks like the studs go on the two outside ports. the center ones need to be longer anyways, so you shouldn't be able to use them.
