manifold bolts

I am in the process of replacing my intake gasket and want to change the torx bolts. I am not sure what kind I should get, any suggestions? I was looking at the stainless steel set that tpiparts.net has, has anyone used these? Thanks for any input.

Many people go to a hardware store and get allen head stainless steel bolts. They're like $1.50 each but are the best IMO. Not sure of the size, I think 3/8" threads, then measure the length. I'm actually doing it this weekend.

The set at tpiparts.net has 50 bolts for $34 and includes thermostat housing bolts and even the distributor cover bolts. Seems like a good deal to me, I think I will give them a try.

They are metric threads on my '86. Be careful about using 3/8" bolts.
