I was checking out my engine bay because I had bottomed out the night before and found that the exhaust was pushed to the passenger side (which is now fixed) but upon looking, I noticed I'm missing a valve cover bolt on my passenger side, closest to the firewall.

Where can I get another bolt? I'm guessing prolly Ford of course, but would there be a cheaper alternative, if not what would I tell the Ford parts dept. person, just the valve cover bolt for a 94-95 5.0 Mustang?. The bolt seems to be 11mm and 1inch long. It looks like it has 2 washers right beneath the head. Could I possibly go out and buy a similar bolt then 2 thick washers to match?

Maybe its been causing the car to idle all weird...

its a 1/4" bolt, just get a 1/4" bolt at autozone or advance auto, about 3/4" long and youll be fine, get one small flat washer if you want to. I think its the standard 1/4" - 20 thread.
