which washers go where on the manifold?

[wayneh]

I've checked all three of my books and still can't find anything about installing my manifolds.

I have the nut kit from VPW, and it has:

Four tapered steel nuts. I think two go all the way on the left and two go all the way on the right, and they get snugged first to center the manifold.

Then I have 8 brass nuts left and four large steel washers and four large brass washers. I sort of think the brass ones go where they only contact one manifold, and the steel ones go where the intake and exhaust share a common stud.

And crank them all to 15-20 pounds?

And... Why is that winter summer flapper not made of stainless? It looks to me like it will rust up in two days!

I was hoping to get this going for the weekend!

Thanks

I know this isn't a standard intake/exhaust but it mounts the same. You have it right. Tapered nuts with brass washers to the far left and right. All the rest in between.
