RE: 383 exhaust manifold bolt

[Pat Herman <dart1962_440@xxxxxxxxx>]

I replaced all of mine with a long bolt after buying the approx length 
bushing at the hardware store.  The bolt goes through the bushing (which 
acts like a long washer or spacer).  When done, it looks like the 
original sleeve-nut.  Make sure the bushing is the same outer diameter 
as the sleeve-nut and that the bolt goes through it.
