Stop in for a cup of coffee

is that correct, or even a good thing to have the negative battery cable on the exhaust.

I would think the heat could be a problem and I have always seen then on the block, never the ex. manifold

but again, I am no 273 person so I don't know
That's a dilema. Intake bolt or exhaust stud. I chose the exhaust stud. I should poke around and see what is correct. Good question!
