Air Cleaner

Anyone know where i can find the bolt that screws in the throttle body and holds the air cleaner on with the wing nut? Mines Stripped and i got to find a new one.

if its like the same bolt that is on carb'ed engines you should be able to pick that up at your local parts store, Kragen/autozone either in their "performance" isle or "Help" section.

Im pretty sure a carb air cleaner stud should work fine. it would also be straight instead of curvy and bent like the stock ones are (why?)

Yea, I went to Oreilys and they didn't carry it. They have universal straight ones but I dont think it will work because it wont be centered over the throttle body. So it wouldnt fit on right. Some time this weekend I am going to goto the dealership and see if they can get it and how much. I think I might take a trip to the junkyard too.

I'd try the junkyard long before the dealer... same part, $1 and walk out with it rather than $20, $30, $40, $???? and special order it.... the same thing is on trucks, Caprices, etc. with TBI
