I've been trying to find where the 2 bolts go in the head for the manifolds. It looks like the studs are the inner most ones. Not counting the 2 alignment studs on both ends. And the bolts are at both ends. Could anyone let me know where they go. Thanks Ian.

No bolts from factory Ian, though they were often fitted in place of the two outer unthreaded alignment studs when tubular headers were fitted, due to the propensity for these to twist when hot and consequently lose their seal. Other than the outer two either end, the rest were studs, UNC in the head and UNF nuts to secure manifolds.

Thanks Clay. I couldn't really understand why the manifold bolt kit had 2 bolts. Thanks again for your reply..
