Default Lower Intake Bolt

OK, where in holly hell can I get a set of bolts for the lower intake manifold. As some of you know I'm doing a head and intake swap, and I need a new set of lower intake bolts, but yet none of the major sites I go to sell them for anything after 73, so I'm wondering if I'm looking up the wrong name or what, or where can I get them. I have all the other bolts I need, upper intake, head, water pump, etc, but those bolts, and one of the stock bolts broke off into the head, the rest are pretty worn.

Now, here's the thing, those bolts look nothing like the bolts that came out. The bolts that came out were threaded halfway up and solid near the top, then, of course, there's the nut at the top. That bolt also seems short, granted pics make things look different, but my bolts are about 3" long (approx.).

I just wentto the hardware store and got some grade 5 bolts with washers, I think I got washers...idk...

I used new hardware since when I was building the engine, I was still driving the car with the original engine.

+1

when i needed a bolt, i walked into home depot with a puzzled look on my face, and some lady that said she had been working there for 15yrs had the right bolt for me on the first try just looking at the bolt in my hand.

i was like "ZOMG THNX!"



good luck
