Good afternoon Officer James...That is hard luck. One way to remove the stud is to soak it well with PB Blaster or another rust loosening product and then drill out the center and use an easy out.

Another would be to soak it as above and if your have a 1/4 inch sticking out of the manifold, weld a washer to the stud and then weld a nut to the washer and put a wrench on it.

Lots of soaking first and gentle on the wrench...work the stud back and forth and it might take a couple of days of soaking and gently twisting to get it out.

Otherwise a member of a local Packard club for help, or remove the intake manifold and take it to an old machine shop with old guys working there. Good Luck...Ernie
