86 12 Brutus Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Well yesterday when trying to get the exhaust pipe off the manifold, of course i broke a bolt, but fortunately i only broke it off in the middle and can still get it out with a wrench. Talk about a pain to get to it. Anyway, i cant find the studs and nuts anywhere. everything gives me for a 302 or for a whole manifold kit. Can anybody help.

Machspeed Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 this is frustrating, i cant find anything anywhere, even the part numbers from the book are not crossing to anything I'm not sure what broke and on what vehicle motor. A picture and specifics would help. Feel for ya, broken bolts are never fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel for ya, broken bolts are never fun. 86 f150 4.9 motor. where the exhaust pipe connects to the manifold there are 2 studs that hold it , one of the studs broke in the middle. its going to be a pain to get it out, but it can be gotten out, it broke in the middle and i can get a wrench on the other nut that holds it to the manifold. problem is i cant find anything out there and the ford part numbers are not crossing to anything at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorman has a listing for -'87-> but I don't know that EFI manifolds take larger studs than carbed ones. https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-188-03135.aspx?make=Ford&origin=keyword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFI have two manifolds, but I don't have a carb manifold to work with. So, what is the pitch and length you need? Man, I miss the days when the parts store counter was supported be a whole row of Orange drawers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten the broken stud out yet. I was hoping to find a Dornman replacement or someting, but nobody has anything anywhere for the 86 4.9. going to probably have to go to the hardware store and do something there if all else fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have plenty of options in the HELP! racks. Most Ford were 3/8-16 except for oddball metrics found on the I-4's and European engines in the Capri.
