Need 12 original 'A' headmark intake manifold bolts that look like these in the link below but not zinc plated and not aluminum. Should be dark phosphate in color.

Scott,
I believe the bolts you are looking for are part # 3828782, which has been discontinued, but is available from AMK Products and Heartbeat
City in Michigan.

Hope this helps,

Richard

Thanks, Richard. I believe the re-issues are a shade different from original ones. The originals had recessed heads and integral washers. Re-issues have shaved heads (not recessed) and integral washers as also seen on eBay a lot. A set of original 'A' headmark bolts popped up on eBay this morning on a BIN and I got them. Now it remains to be seen what I got when I get them in my hands.
But that doesn't mean that I will stop looking.

I have a set off of a '73 BB, two are marked with M the rest have N F P, I can email you a picture.

Actually that was the norm to have a mix of different headmarked intake bolts installed by the factory. The engine hoist bracket bolts are longer and usually were TR or M or whatever. Sure, I would be interested in seeing the photos and perhaps buying them if for sale.

Thanks Jim. No big rush. Since I'm a bit older I forget more than most people your young age. I enjoyed talking with you by phone this morning. I will comment on your post in the C-3 General Section.

I'm not familiar with NFP bolts but maybe Grant Wong can chime in on that. I think he owns a '73 454. Or did. I got your photos but I-Phones aren't great for detail when expanded. I will look at them in the morning on my monitor and let you know about buying them.

Here's some bolts I have if you have any interest. Most came from a 68 400hp car I restored.
