Need to verify the correct factory locations of this exhaust manifold hardware. Thanks for the help.
I know the outer 4 corners take the studs.
from what i remember from installing them on the dart years ago it was pretty obvious looking at the manifold.
The other 2 studs go with the sleeve nuts. Do not use the conical washers with them. Kimtook me a little bit to figure but there are 12 bolts/studs in a set and the picture shows 14 so the 5th and 6th stud are simply extra. The long shoulder bolt are only on the passenger side.

I don’t believe the cupped washers are used under the nuts only the bolts.
.Kim has it right - no washer under the long shoulder bolt/nuts that go in the sleeves - nowhere for it to go! Always conical washers on the end studs - the conical washers distribute the force on the cast iron ears and keep you from breaking them off[/QUO

I probably should’ve been more clear when I’m referring to nuts I’m referring to the sleeve nuts as well as the common nuts. I know the kit contains 10 conical washers But on the two survivor 1970 340’s I’ve looked at I’ve only seen the conical washers used under the six bolts ,just my two cents.
