Thanks, Tony
The 3rd bolt from the left was for the EGR thing that bolts to the rear of the plenum--has 2 bolts into the plenum and has a 90 deg curved tube that gets screwed onto a fat male thread-like a speedometer-cable connection. The long bolts were for the lower hidden bolts-intake-to-head. Some fun getting these back in. Trick seems to be to use a small bit of heavy paper in the socket to hold the bolt head fairly tight. Then you try for a while to get the stupid bolt started in a hole you can't see. Anyway, I managed to get the manifold and plenum back on last night-about 11 PM. Threw away that dumb little metal piece that joins 2 pieces of small rubber tubing for some gadget way under the plenum. I'll just use a single piece of tubing. Tonight I'll hook up some of the many wires and hoses and start working on the alternator mount/front left lift-hook thing. Still waiting for my welding/brazing expert friend to fix the turbo oil lines I cut off. Yes, I gave up tryiong to get the bolts out and took 3" thin cut-off blade to them. A few seconds and the turbo came right off. I had planned on using some welded/brazed fittings on them to make future repairs easier, but there aren't going to be any for me after this!
