What's the part number of the sleeve nut or is there something that the dealer will understand? The last time I went to find parts for my car, the dealer said they couldn't look up anything before 1981 but that if I had the part number they could find it. I need 3 of the nuts and it would be nice to go to the source and avoid e-bay.

Thanks.

Are you talking about manifold fasteners Peterro?

They're the long nuts that go on the studs in the head.

Like these:

Yeah that is part of the exhaust manifold fastener kit. you definately want to use the longer Dorman manifold studs to screw into I found that out the hardway those sleeve fasteners won't bite enough on the shorter studs. So I ended up swapping 2 studs last weekend.


did you go with the HP manifolds this kit should have the fasteners you need in it.

I believe there are 2 different length sleeve nuts and I need the longer ones (3). Chryco said back on page one that they're still available from Chrysler so I was hoping for the part number. The last show I was hoping to get to is on the 15th and I need the exhaust done so I can get the system installed.
