Hey, fc7gtx, how do you like the TTIs? How was the fit and installation? I love your GTX. Good choice of wheels for the '70 body and color.

I have a 1995 strait 6 Cummins the two bolts in the back of the exhaust manifold by the fire wall broke off when I backed them out water came out I would like to know why...it did not leak any water beforehand..was wondering if cracked head or is it because back bolts go into water jackets

It's not uncommon for bolt holes to enter the water jackets on heads. Rust, sealer, or low coolant could be reasons for no previous leaks. I would determine the size of the hole. A leaking crack would probably not allow a 12 gauge wire (or similar) to go through.

Ha, I've got to laugh a little because I remember well the first time I pulled a Mopar engine and found water coming out of the rear exhaust manifold studs. Luckily I had a buddy who was a long time Mopar mechanic tell me immediately what was going on. Boy was I spooked when it first happened. Trevor at Antioch Dodge
