Broken Cadilac Converter Bolt

Ok so I got the cam and timing cover back on. Was in the process of replacing oil pan gasket. Was removing the cadilac converter and broke off a bolt that attaches the converter to the exhaust manifold. Not sure what to do now. Any advice? 1996 Z28, LT1, manual 6 speed.

Ok thanks for the spelling lesson. Does anyone have any better advice than buying a bolt because the stud is broken off inside the threads. The bolt in twisted off at the triangle mounting bracket that attaches the converter to the exhaust manifold.

Time to put a set of headers on that Cadillac Camaro of yours.
