73 ss exhaust manifold fastener question

Post by clanceman427 on Sat Aug 22, 2015 4:14 pm

On the stock setup for a 73 ss Chevelle with a 350, does the very front exhaust manifold fastener on the driver's side get a dual stud? Such that the main part of the stud mounts the manifold and then another stud for using a nut and washer for the power steering bracket? I'm tossing the headers that came on my car for stock exhaust setup. Thanks

Ok I got it figured it out once I installed the manifold. It just uses a slightly longer bolt since the bracket lies right against the manifold.

It doesn't lie right next to it ...It does take that that double Bolt you mentioned it helps keep the power steering lined up at WOT
