Re: Exhaust Manifolds- need installation infomation

Hi John,

Glad to hear your getting your wagon back together. The best advice I can 
give you on the exhaust manifolds is to use the correct hardware kit. 
Anything else will give you problems. There's a number of vendors that sell 
the kit. Check ebay motors auction # 280248380493.
