Re: Hey, new here...would LOVE some help!!
I have a 71 c10 so im assuming it wouldnt be metric. Im going to look for that tool at lowes then. Would I need anything else? One of my buddies said that I should just get a smaller bolt and jb weld it. And I just replaced the gaskets in the swap, would I need to again?
Thanks guys for all the help. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Hey, new here...would LOVE some help!!
If you have one out or can get one out you can have autozone or whomever see if it is a pipe thd or NPT(natioal pipe thread) and they could tell you if it is metric. like Gene said you will need a pipe tap to clean out the threads They refer to the threads as NPT so ask for that kind of tap Good luck and Nice ride

No, the gaskets are fine, but if you dont fix the mounting bolts, the exhaust manifold will loosen up, causing an exhaust leak
