<< Yep... Your description matches the layout in my FSM for the 3.9L. I'd
 order the OEM studs today and get to work when they are in (you'll need the
 appropriate nuts and washers of course). I agree they are probably cheap
 (nice change, huh?!) so I'd probably order a full compliment of four (just
 in case another one went) or I messed up the threads trying to put it on.

So Tom,
Should I assume the last bolt/stud closest to the firewall, the one that is
broke off, is a stud with a nut on it? I went out today and got 3 cans of
penetrant; geesh that better be enough!! I will order the set of 4 bolts/studs
for the driver's side manifold tomorrow. Sometime later this week, I will go
out an search for a good bolt/screw extractor set. Thanks alot man for all
your input and info on this! It is greatly appreciated!
