My car has 5/8 headed bolts as well Joe. Its doable without lifting the engine up, just a bit time consuming and a general pain un the arse.
I had mine on ramps, I jacked it up and placed the ramps around the other way so I could slide my fat carcass under the car without bashing into the sloping part of the ramps. I have old milk crate with a flat bit of timber bolted to it to stand on for the over the fender stuff while its up on the ramps.
Since I've done mine, I re-checked the bolts again after it was hot and had cooled down again and then again 2 weeks later.
Its about as much fun as having ya nuts crushed in a bench vice, but its only really the time factor and two three hunks of skin you'll rip off ya knuckles that make it difficult.

Good to here that
Joe D has a 64 and you a 63 —maybe some difference ?
The engine blocks and cars frame SB the same In both
Enjoy
I can get all the bolts with a wrench and a long extension and ratchet from under the car. No need to lift the engine up.
I noticed an exhaust leak the other day so yesterday morning when I examined it I found the two Center bolts on the driver side exhaust manifold are loose. I was able to get to the front one with a wrench but the one behind it is proving to be quite challenging. The shape of the manifold does not allow the wrench to go on from the top very easily, and the brake lines to the master cylinder are in the way.
Joe, correct. If you want to go original send me an email. I have individual bolts or complete sets. Here are the details on bolts and pricing:
Original Exhaust Manifold Bolts:
12 bolts, 9/16 head, thread is 7/16x14, two left rear bolts are 1 1/2” long & others are 2 1/4” long. I sell the longer 2 1/4” bolts in VG+ condition for $5 each, I sell the two shorter (and harder to find) 1 1/2” bolts for $10 each, or the set of all 12 for $50.
So since all of my exhaust manifold bolts are all 5/8" does that mean they are not original ?

I need to replace the bulbs for the speedometer cluster in my instrument panel..
Before I open up the dash, I want to have the necessary bulbs on hand.
Can someone help me determine what bulbs I need, the number of bulbs I need, and where to purchase them?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

The temperature gauge of my 63 Eldorado does not work properly.
It goes slowly all the way up and stays there, while the true temperature is around 155-160 F (water in the radiator and/or the top of the thermostat housing).
Where should I start to solve the problem? The gauge itself, the temperature sensor, or the wiring? Or something else? The sensor is a new (aftermarket part)…
