anyone know of a source for washer set for intake and exhaust manifolds?
 
All good, you did.

I saw a 'new thread' in another part of the site & responded to it.

No mention of the category there?

/6 I thought I posted on /6 page . My bad I guess .
Yeah, don't feel bad. I was thinking the same thing.
Wish I could help you as I needed a set as well as nuts and studs this past summer. Wound up robbing some from another engine, but wasn't happy about that. I'll be watching, hoping for a better answer.
 
Start a wanted ad. This thread is not one.
 
Bone yards have them. I've been scrounging them every time I go. Pickins are getting slim but they are out there. The compression nuts on the ends are floating around too.
 
Sources for new hardware:

The triangular washers are available new out of Australia: AS0190s Slant six Valiant steel manifold hold on batwing tabs | Aussiespeed Street & Racing Products Australia

I'm not sure if the conical washers for a small block V8 are the same as the center washer, but there are these from Mancini: Mancini Racing Exhaust Manifold Conical Washer

Flex-top locknuts: McMaster Carr has these. McMaster-Carr

Brass Washer - p/n 53010091 I don't know where to get them.
Thanks for the info !
Greatful for the help
 
I got a complete NOS set from the Dodge dealership
 
No I just walked into Tacoma Dodge and asked for the bolt stud washer kit for a 72 Valiant..
-Nah we won’t have that but I’ll check....holy **** we have it!
 
The triangles have no spring retention property, they are there just to allow the thermal expansion of the exhaust manifold to slide on the gasket as designed, and they only work if they are installed with the proper clearance on all sides. The concave washers on the ends and in the middle are unique and should be chased down as well as the brass cinch nuts but the flat triangles should be fine. The OEM ones have a small raised center so as to help in getting the torque correct, not dragging on the flats. Could work around with a honest torque wrench and a lick of sense.
 
Before you install them, search for the post on slantsix.org showing how to orient. It is opposite the way intuition might suggest. If you install them backwards, the exhaust manifold may later crack.
