Workin on a friends 95 GT. The bolt that is giving us trouble is the long bolt that holds the smog pump in place on the alternator bracket. Its the hole that has the metal sleeve bushing thing on it, goes through the alt bracket then through the smog pump and threadsinto the back of the alt bracket. That sucker was good a siezed. Used heat to get get it out and it boogered up the threads a bit. Dont think it needs helicoiled just need to know what size threads those are. Thanks guys!

Easiest way to find out is to use the thread gauge in your tap and die kit if you have one. Measure the bolt OR the hole.

Just bring the bolt to any hardware store. They all have thread size measuring tools.
