Just got the \6 - 64 Dart of the transport truck today and found the front exhaust stud broken off. Would anyone have one of the the fabled outside exhaust manifold brass washer and nut I can buy?
Thanks!
Gotta be pretty generic stuff.
I LOVE YOU MAN! PM sent!Believe it or don't they're actually pretty specific. The washer has a bevel on the inside that the special nut fits down into.

Ya I don't know squat about it. Cool that you can bail him out. Sounds like something I would spend 8 hours trying to re-engineer instead of coming on here and hitting someone up for help.Believe it or don't they're actually pretty specific.

Haven't drilled one out in probably over 40 years. I've read on here about heating (with propane?) and touching bees wax to the broken stud to help it ease out. figure I'll do my best to center punch it and maybe use a reverse pitch drill bit, then an easy out if need be.You said the stud broke. Were you able to get it out of the head? That can be a real pain.
Yep, when I first read about "the brass washer" I figured I'd cut the end off my brass drift and make one. Then learned about the concave impression on one side of the flat.Ya I don't know squat about it. Cool that you can bail him out.

I've heard of people doing that on aluminum boat motors before. I'll look to do that first if I can. Thanks again for the part! I've read over and over about how finicky these manifold seals are.I tell you what I'd do. I would mig weld a nut on the end of the stud and then back it out of the head. But you do it however you feel comfortable. Good luck. That can be an issue. I'll get your stuff out tomorrow if I can and send a tracking number.
Good plan. I always start out with a NEW 1/8 inch bit. Gets you centered well. Ultimately might end up drillling it all of the way to the threads.Haven't drilled one out in probably over 40 years.

I got mine through the local hardware store, I've been runnin it for over 20 years now with no problems. I guess some are more anal then others about stuff?? Good Luck
I edited your title and first post. You should have started a wanted thread. ThanksJust got the \6 - 64 Dart of the transport truck today and found the front exhaust stud broken off. Who sells the washers and hardware?
Thanks!
It's called a conical washer. The parts guy may look at you like your a idiot when they won't/don't know what the definition of conical is. Good LuckMaybe, or maybe you're just lucky.
The washer has a countersink that the "special, split acorn nut" seats into. The nut goes on and looks upside down since the acorn part points towards the washer. They don't make them any more but you can find variants that will work. Similar design, but not exact copies.
