I've searched and cannot find anything. What size are the bolts that come out of the intake, and go through the throttle body and spacer. I cannot take my old ones out because they are rusted in there so bad. thanks

The bolts have a 5/16"-16 thread. You can use threaded rod as replacement since there isn't a lot of torque on the bolts. Use generous amounts of Never-Seeze compound on the new bolts and nuts to keep them from corroding and seizing up. Check www.fastenal.com or www.totallystainless.com/for some stainless steel bolts. Totally Stainless is an automotive specialty shop with a lot of stainless steel hardware for cars. It's a really neat place and worth your time to visit their web site.
