TPI intake manifold
Does anyone know where I could get replacement bolts for my TPI. I don't know if I could use standard ARP small Chevy intake bolts or not. It's and 86 TPI set up on a 1980 block. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just used a set of regular ARP intake bolts for a SBC. A couple of corners had sunk threads in the heads so i used the longer stock corner bolts.
Don't forget teflon thread paste on all the bolts into the lifter valley to keep oil off teh intake.

Don't use the bolts you get at a parts store and DO NOT USE THOSE STAINLESS STEEL SETS FROM EBAY!!!! THEY ARE COMPLETE ****! You need to get the right length bolts with strong hex tops. I made the mistake of using those stainless steel pieces of crap and I had to drill them out of the heads because they can't take the correct torque. Then I used some intake bolt kit that I bought, but the bolts were too short so I ended up helicoiling my heads.
