Stud Locations - Cylinder Head & Exhaust Manifolds

It's been a while since I started my engine rebuild and I forgot exactly what size studs(there's 3 different sizes), go where on the cylinder Head for the Intake and Exhaust Manifolds on my BJ8. I figured out some of them but I want to put all the studs "in" only once and not have to resort to trial and error later.

The Parts & Workshop Manuals are of little help.
Thanks,
 
Pat, I have sent you two sketches showing the location of the studs. The parts manual shows two different part number studs for the intake manifold, but as I recall I only used one part number for all 7 studs. The ones that attach the exhaust manifold, and the ones that attach both the exhaust and intake manifolds, are longer.

Thanks for the drawings!

With your help and an engine that has never been dismantled I have located the "meduim" length studs location.
I will, with Steve's assistance, post what I found out later as soon as a new revised drawing with notes is made.

Thanks to ALL who sent me emails and photos...they were very helpfull.

With the help of Steve Byers and his drawings and my research, we have been able to provide the attached drawings/photo to show where the "medium" sized Stud is located. The #14 Stud (in Steve's drawing) is used for the rear Heater pipe attachment. The Shop Parts manual calls out this Stud as illustration #24 on the parts page.

I also took a photo of all 3 Studs to show the different lengths. I was also able to take a photo of an engine that has a little over 40k miles on it and appears to have never been taken apart.
