Another dumb question but I need your help...

Bolting on a Edelbrock 75mm TB and matching spacer to a new Edelbrock performer II intake. However I don't have my old intake anymore which I believe had studs? and the TB and spacer slid on and then were tightened on with nuts?

The new intake doesn't come with these and my TB/spacer is used. Does anyone know if I can use long bolts and if so what size?

I know that ARP sells a bolt kit. I am not sure of the size you need though....

IIRC they are 5/16" coarse thread studs.

Its a throttle body, not a main bearing cap. I just got zinc plated bolts from Ace. They are really cheap and they look good.

A thread pitch gauge, a bolt size chart and a ruler. I just bought a set a week ago for my GT40 intake swap.
