Hi All!

I just got an '82 720 King Cab! I totally dig it, but it needs some work. Half of the exhaust manifold studs are missing.

I tried the generic stud kits from the auto parts store, but they come up WAY too short and use s*** brass nuts that strip themselves out when I attempt to torque them down.

Needless to say, I'm gonna strip out the stock exhaust when I get some cash, but for the moment I've got to make due.

Any tips?

Thanks!!

next time check rock auto. com first.

Pretty sure 240sx/KA24 exhaust studs are the same. go to a junk yard with some pbblaster and a few of those nuts and double wrench some studs out of a few nissans.
