Catastrophe narrowly avoided

88 IROC new 383. What is up guys, so driving down the highway here something hit the ground, and then hear a nice whining noise at idle and low RPM, fortunately as soon as I get home I look under the hood and see that the center bolt to my tensioner pulley came out as well as the plate (that acts as a washer). Need a replacement bolt and plate. Before I start hunting through junkyards does anyone have any idea where to get these pieces without busting a whole new assembly. Or even what I've the bolt is. Thanks guys appreciate it.

I dont think they are anything special. Just run to lowes and get the same bolt and a washer and throw it back on.

Re: Catastrophe narrowly avoided

sorry i dont. I would just go threw my pile of bolts and see what fits the threads and then go get the one with the right length. Hell you could just eyeball it and go buy a bag of bolts that look close (they are cheap). Cant ever have too many extra bolts.
