I purchased ARP head bolts to use when I install the heads on my '87 5.0. The passenger side, front, bottom stock head bolt (behind the alternator) is actually a stud bolt. After this stud bolt is installed, a bracket which holds the two fuel lines is held on the stud part of the bolt by a nut.

The ARP head bolt set does not include a stud bolt. How do you mount the bracket that holds the fuel lines? I'm almost sure that it is not mounted between the head bolt and the head.

Thanks for your help in advance!
Chuck

It doesn't get mounted with the arp's, don't worry about it.

Yeah, just let it rest. It is a stiffer mount anyways and it isn't going to do anything negative. I just let it ride against the head. Where it bolts onto the intake it has no problem staying in place...
