ive got a edelbrock intake i just bought, and it came with no hardware.. was wondering if the lower intake bolts are the same as a stock one.. or some of the aftermarket
would these work fine...?? http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...+matchall&searchTerm=Edelbrock+8524&x=13&y=10

thanks,

yeah the lower bolts are the same, when you torque them torque to 25 ft lbs no more no less, i torqued them down 2 much once and they pulled up on my heads leaving me with a compression leak and a huge air lock in my motor, alls fixed now =D well gooduck!

Don't do this ^

Edelbrock calls for no more than 18-20 ft lbs, and that's only on the bolts that do NOT include the four corner bolts.

The four bolts in the farthest corners (two front, two rear) are two only be tightened with a short box end wrench, not over tightened and not torqued to spec, with the idea being that this provides the best method of avoiding cracking the intake corners.
