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.
