i have a 1895 camaro. stock v8 5.0 engine. well, the bolt that screws into the intake manifold that holds the clamp down on the base of the distributor vibrated out and fell behind the engine a long time ago and never saw it again. does anyone know what size and length the bolt is so i can replace it.

 

I believe its 1/2-13 or 3/8-16 Not entirely sure.

IIRC Its the same thread pitch as the accessory's on the front of the engine and bell housing bolts and a few others i can't remember.

 

I think I read on here that it was 3/8-16 x 1/2 do a search for sbc bolt sizes and you should find it.

 

thanks alot, you were right on. now i can get on with my work tomorrow. i need to get that engine cleaned so i can fix stuff lol.
