Default snapped off a valve cover bolt

Does anyone know where the best place to get a set of valve cover bolts for a 96 gt. Had a little problem with mine. Thanks!

I did that on my truck when I was re-doing the valve cover gasket, not a fun experience! Hopefully you got the bolt out, I bought a screw extractor from the local hardware store and got it out easily enough. As for the bolt I grabbed one of my other bolts and got one that matched it. I only needed a couple washers since it was slightly longer. This was the super-cheap fix though since it's a pretty old truck.
