Re: [Amc-list] 232 I6 exhaust to intake manifold studs?

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Make sure to tell them exhaust studs or get grade 8.
No need for them to snap off when your trying to get that last little tweak of tightness out of them!

Especially make sure they are grade 8 if you end up with coarse threads on both ends.
I used Grade 8 studs on my intake when I had the Clifford adapted to the 4.0L head. No problems at all.
