Exhaust manifold issues, please, help
Ok, I’m catching h3ll trying to install my passenger side exhaust manifold. The two top studs are there, but if I get one on the triangle thing on the exhaust pipe the other won’t fit…tried tapping the stud with a hammer but I’m scared I’ll break it off in the exhaust. What is the trick to installing exhaust manifold, a friend suggested unclamp the whole exhaust pipe, but I want to stay away from that. Please, be kind I'm a novice...
As always many thanks for advice/experience. 84 swb 10 305 v8, dual exhaust

Re: Exhaust manifold issues, please, help
Do you have any pictures?
I know when I put in my long tube headers, when I first installed them I put 1 bolt in the front and one in the back to have it sit the way it should and then from there I put the rest of the bolts in, and they went in fine maybe try that?

Re: Exhaust manifold issues, please, help
i put a deep socket(maybe 10 mm/ 3/8ths)tight fit over threads anyway and extention ,no bolt on stud, gives me leverage to bend/move it over
