Re: exhaust stud size

It's a 3/8"NC thread. Probable around 2" long or so. You mean the ones that thread into the head, and hold the exhaust manifold on to the head don't you?

Re: exhaust stud size

Which year did they change the thread size? The following link states that it is M10 -1.5 pitch (for an '88).

Yes, I checked rockauto, too. I also just ordered the studs. The assorted kit is by Motormite #03100.
