I am missing the 4 studs for the manifold carb base. The ones form my A manifold are too short. I will be using the correct carb spacer. Does anyone off hand know the proper length of these studs?

Just pull one from the A manifold and go to a hardware store and get longer ones.

It's the "little longer" part that I need to know. My luck they will either be too long or not long enough. They also appear to have different thread pitches on each end. I've also seen a few different lengths mentioned and that is why I am looking for a more exact length.
Is there a good vendor out there that would sell the correct bolts without shipping charges that are three times the cost of the bolts?

Buy them long and cut them to the exact size.

If you are using the 1/2 inch spacer under the carb, then you need studs that are 2 inches long.  Without the spacer you need 1 1/2 inches long.  They are coarse thread on the manifold end and fine thread on the top end.  5/16 diameter.

Thanks John, that's what I was looking for. I'd seen the 2" bolts mentioned somewhere before.

Cutting them to size is not an option for my car. That might be OK for a daily driver.
