Pls help, what size bolt...

Hi all, I will be stuck at work all weekend. Between being here and trying to get my truck running while home, I keep forgeting to get this or that etc...

Could anyone please tell me the size of the intake bolts for an 86 4.9? I just need the size and pitch length is not important.

I just hope to get a really long bolt of this size on the way home and use it as my 1st bolt but still allow me to keep the manifold assembly away from the head to make sure the gasket is still lined up ya know.

Thank you very much for any help.

Hi, emkay!

I, like perhaps many others, misunderstood your request when I first read it. You need a colon between pitch and length, so that it reads

I'm not trying to be a PITA: some people describe pitch by the term pitch length. Anyway, why no just take one of your existing bolts to your local bolt supplier and get the attendant at the counter to fix you up with a match?

lol. yeah you're right. TY. I got it done though. what i was hoping to do is pick up the bolt before driving all the way home to get it (after getting off work). I can't remember.. oh yeah actually i used one i had lying around by luck or it would have been a trip back to town.
