I tried taking one stud out yesterday. I double nutted it and found the stud was in tight. I changed my mind about replacing all of them with new and if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I had to replace the cam box/housing about 14 years ago so I had the headers off. Its possible I didn't tighten that nut enough. It was a long time ago. I did the clutch and alternator too. Then the car sat for a decade for some reason.

If I can register the car as a historic vehicle I won't have to smog it. Arizona requires a smog inspection for cars built after 1967. I don't think I can get many parts like the EGR valve. The reactors are gone, the tube from the reactor to the EGR is open.
