Cool. Glad for you. Now, left side of the keyboard, above the shift key and below the tab key. Caps lock. Live it. Learn it. Use it.

It only took me about 30 minutes to drill out and retap a broken stud on my Camaro's manifold.

And please, turn Cap's Lock off.

Did you get this done at a local shop or at one of the chain shops? I have the same problem and need to get something done about it. You don't happen to live in North Carolina and could recommend the shop you took it to. It is a long shot, but it never hurt to ask.

Thanks wallygator!

I was about to buy some manifolds off e-bay then get some expensive bolts (I couldn't find any cheap bolts) and then have to pay labor too. I will be calling the local muffler shops soon.

This site is saving me money on maintenance, but costing me more in mods!
