Can't find an intake manifold bolt kit

Bought a edlbrk 7111 intake for my 71 5.7, can't find a bolt kit anywhere. Any ideas?

Edlebrock makes a bolt kit but it apparently does not play nice with the 7111 intake.

Oldsrocketparts.com has a 12 point intake bolt kit that specifies compatability with the 7111 intake. Comes with 4 short bolts and 8 longer ones for $34. May be other kits out there.

I measured lengths and went to Alamo Bolt & Screw in San Antonio for bolts and hardened washers.

It cost a fraction of the bolt kit prices and I got to select material and style.

Any big city will have this type of supplier.

Yes, this is critical as regular washers are too soft and will bend. I found thick Grade 8 washers at the local Ace Hardware and they worked very well.

Just an FYI in San Antonio there is a bolt house called Quality Fasteners, they carry a lot of car related products. They are an industrial supply for manufacturing plants but service a lot of body shops so they also carry the Auveco line for body clips and such.

Great idea but,,,

Thought about that, but as a trk driver time @ home is limited, easier to order a kit online. Which I did @ classicolds.com. thank you
