Ok. I'm going to jact up my car this weekend and fix this crazy exhaust leak where the pass. side manifold bolts to the Y-pipe. I think it is missing one or two bolts thanks to the guy who put in my engine (or tried and messed up my tranny while he was at it).

Here come the questions. Has anyone had to fix a leak here? Do I need to remove the starter? What bolts do I need? What's the easiest way to get to this? Anything else?

I appreciate any help,
Matt

I had to fix one there a few weeks ago.. not a big deal. Just put the bolts in a tighten. I have edelbrock headers though, while Im really not sure what you have..

 

ahhh, sorry about that I have the stock '84 Z28 (non-HO) exhaust. I'll be upgrading to a full Mac exhaust system in the spring, from headers to tips all Mac. BTW did you get to it from the top or under the car?

Thanks man,
Matt

 

Alright leak fixed. For future referance just take off the spark plug wires and you can get to the top bolt (closer to the engine) with a wrench just don't touch the starter like I did (Scared the crap out of me!) . The other one was nearly impossable to get to so I just slide it on fingertight. The leak is fixed and sounds and feels much, much smoother.
