Manifold -to- block studs ?
Domed studs were 7/16''-20 and 7"16-14x2-3/16'' long . Judging standards...Bratton's parts list Manifold studs as -1928 to Feb.1929 as domed and there after Flat end .Before i change these 4 studs to dome which is correct ? i know Bratton's is a parts house but why would he spend the money and time making a incorrect part and listing it... Or JS did not print the rest of the update ? thanks

The earlier studs were rounded. The later were flat.

Re: Manifold -to- block studs ?
Yes, Fred as stated [ 1928 to Feb 1929 domed and there after flat end [top] .Someone said JB weld,, round top would do the trick better then removing the flat top studs that i have. But before i go thru all this i really want to make sure. I was told mine was wrong and i should of known better ...

Re: Manifold -to- block studs ?
Pete,
I know for sure it's at least a 1928 item(domed head). I did find the stud in the PPL but not in the Hardware Book, which is interesting! Did you look in the JS?......which I haven't done yet... Dudley |

Re: Manifold -to- block studs ?
Model "A" early 1931 ,Town Sedan unrestored 31,000 miles has flat top studs. Engine in my car 13,000 original miles and that's what was on my engine. Anyone else with a low mileage engine unrestored with flat and not dome heads studs??Should be all Mid. 1929 to 1930 /31's engines thanks you

Re: Manifold -to- block studs ?
Received word that the way Bratton's catalog is correct [studs flat after Feb. 1929] and not domed. Will be corrected in the next Judging standards .
