What I did was take 2 small studs off of my stock intake and stick them on the bottom of the edelbrock and use nuts for thoes, and some bolts for the top 2 holes.

You will also need to have 2 studs for the upper to lower. If your looking at the bottom intake from the front of your car, you nees to place the studs in the front right, and back right holes.

Good luck and let me know if ya need anymore help.

On the throttle body it should be all four.

You have to rivit the PCV valve baffle onto the bottom of your lower intake... and be glad you got all the parts, me and mike had to make a trip to lowes to get quite a few bolts and plugs that Powered By Ford didnt give to me when I bought my intake

i used studs for everything on my intake (throttle body, elbow, and upper-lower). it just makes everything easier when assembling it. you can get the studs at discount auto parts for next to nothing if edelbrock didnt supply enough.

For what its worth...use studs as mentioned, way easier i think...

The bolt size is 1/4"x18 pitch...I needed 2" long for the Mac adapter to the the intake....2" is common and you'll find that no problem..
if need be, get 4 Carriage bolts like 3" long , cut to the lenght you need....roll a nut on there where you wanna cut the lenght, hacksaw right at the nut for a guide...you wont roach the threads this way, just roll the nut off and it makes the threads where you cut it....just had to do this for my Fox TB...worked sweet....i couldn't find 2 1/2" bolts that I needed, so I made em...

You drill out the threads of the lower right bolt hole in the upper manifold and put a bolt in from the backside of the manifold to catch the threads in the adapter.
