I have a 38 exhaust manifold that I am installing on a '37 115c. I pulled the two outermost studs, because I read that those aren't used. Are the next two studs used, and if so, how? I cannot get a washer or a nut on the stud due to a lack of clearance with the exhaust manifold.
To be clear- the intake/exhaust manifold combo is held to block right now with nuts on the 4 center-most studs. The gaskets seem tight, but I would hate to blow out my good metal NOS manifold gaskets just because the manifold was installed incorrectly. Do the '38s and on really only use 4 bolts? Any advice would be appreciated - trying to get the car running this weekend.

I had the brain wave last night of answering my question by implication last night by looking at the parts manual. Unfortunately, it just said that X quantity are required.
I did find mention of a clamp, exhaust manifold hold down. I am assuming this is what I need. Part number 0335207, qty 2. Anyone have a picture of this mysterious clamp, or can tell me where it goes?

Ken,
The photo below is of a '39 Six engine and manifolds which I'll assume(I know, I know - never assume ![]() And to my mind it also raises questions. 1) Is there a clamping surface on the '37 inlet manifold? 2) Or do you also need a '38 inlet manifold to get that clamping surface?

Mal, thanks for the info, and the picture! It looks like I need two longer studs and two clamps.
The intake manifold does have a clamping surface there, and from what I can tell from the picture, it looks like the clamp bear down on the intake manifold directly and cantilever onto the exhaust manifold. So, anyone have a pair of those clamps for sale? Flackmaster? EDIT: Struck out with Flackmaster. Anyone have a pair? Also posting in the for sale section to catch the post war crowd.
