RUSS-D exhaust manifold?

what kind of chevy lug nuts are the kind you have said fit those 4 stud type things on a factory manifold. I got my engine, and besides painting it, it's ready to be put in my truck after 3 years without one. WOOHOO...

or anyone else who can give me the pitch and thread size of these boogers..

lol not sure. i know they're 1/4inch, dont know the pitch

full size GM pickup, mine came off an 84. Credit for the idea goes to Crutch, who has forgotten more about Mazda engines than I know.

Put a dab of JB Weld in them and thread em on.

and congrats Blitch!

hmmm i woulda thought they would be from a newer gm truck, one with metric threads... maybe a newer 12mm would fit better than a 1/2" lug?

could be, but they came straight from the part bin and Crutch's Dad, Pops, never owned anything newer than the 84.

thanks homie. all I gotta do is get the engine painted, which I just got home from buying paint, and get my buddies lift/leveler and it's going in. My fourlink tabs should be here today or tomorrow to re-do the 2 link to a 4 link in the rear, and get the engine in, and I will be finally railing after these long 4 years..

i found some AN fitting nuts last night in the shop that will thead on there, just gotta grab some JB WELD and stick em on. Hopefully engine will be going in today..
