...Get your heads' out of gutter guys !

The long bolt which goes threw the ac compressor and holds the bracket which connects to the plenum on the drivers side ...which size bolt is this ? I took that bracket off when I did the tb bypass not to long ago and lost that damn bolt . It's been making a rattling noise thats about to drive me bonkers . I guess the bracket is vibrating up against the compressor . I thought about just going to the hardware store and guessing a bolt , but my luck I'll buy like three bolts and they wont fit .

You have the 3.1, right? If so, I don't know about this bolt; but a hardware store might not have it; it's probably metric... and if it's a long one, a Pep Boys/Strauss/etc might not have it either... best bet is a junkyard.

Junk yard Only Item.
Serious.
Just played with my stuff on Blazer, same thing probably.
It's a Shouldered 15mm head bolt, long. Or it's a 13mm shouldered head bolt.
Bring 13mm & 15mm box wrenches.
Liquid wrench, too
