Guys-

Second "how easy is it" post. Same 74 Dart swinger needs it's new exhaust manifold installed. I've never done it. How easy is it? Do I need special tools/knowledge?

Thanks

Evan

Your first time? It's a bear.

The fifth or sixth time? A light chore.

Getting to the blind nut/stud underneath the choke pocket is the fun part. Once you've done it a few times and picked up a few tricks, it's not that big of a deal.

If it's the original manifold, be ready for the inevitable broken-off rusty studs.

My suggestion is to acquire the necessary 1/4" drive socket, extension, and swivel joint adapter that can get to the elusive nut vynn is referring to.

Good luck,
Jerry
