New Intake manifold bolts

looking for a nice set of Intake manifold bolts to go with the A4 aluminum im installing on the 350, Ive searched but cant really find anything. I seen Edelbrock sets but I dont know if those are for Eldelbrock intakes only or can they be used for stock intakes also?
anyone know where I can get a new set?

I wanted new intake bolts for the Edelbrock RPM becuase not all the same type bolts fit because of the clearance between the intake runners. And the 2 inner ones on each side are shorter. So I just went to the local fastener place and got new black allen head bolts. And even then 2 spots were hard to get in.

I just went to the local NAPA store and bought grade 5 bolts of the right length with the thick lock washers cadmium plated so they wont rust.

Painted or bare intake? If bare, I'd go with ss bolts, looks good with the naked alum.
