Intake bolts

1988 F-150 w/302 I was checking the engine over, general inspection type thing and noticed that the center bolt on the inside of the top half of the intake is gone, it appears to be a real bear to get to so I am guessing thats why its gone. I was wandering what size bolt it is. I am guessing it will have to have an allen head since it doesnt appear a socket will fit.
Thanks guys!

It was a torx head bolt. Someones taken the upper intake off for some reason or another and didnt bother to re-install it. This may eventually cause a vacumn leak and high idle rpm. Get bolt from junk yard some day before gasket gets sucked in.
