WTB TPI intake tube mounting bolts
I am looking for a set of TPI intake tube mounting bolts for a 1989 5.0L TPI. Somewhere in the 60,000 mile life of my Formula, someone has replaced 5 of the bolts with standard hex bolts. The bolts I am looking for should be black torx head bolts. Does anyone know where I can find them? Thanks,

Re: WTB TPI intake tube mounting bolts
Sorry for the delay. I finally got a set of torx bits so I could remove one of the bolts. They are metric M8 x 1 1/4" (yes I am old school and use metric and US to describe the same bolt). I could use 8 of them, but need a minimum of 4. Let me know if you have them and how I can buy them from you.
Thanks,

Re: WTB TPI intake tube mounting bolts
There are 3 different lengths of that bolt for the intake, best to know which positions they will need to go in to get the correct length..

Re: WTB TPI intake tube mounting bolts
Is there any way to know what length goes In each spot? Half of mine have been replaced with hex head bolts, so I am not sure any of them are right if there are different lengths. I ordered a set from Corvette Central last November and I am still waiting for the backorder. If I can find them, I will cancel the order.
