1990 302 water pump bolts
Hi my water pump was leaking in my 1990 302 f150 4x4 so i began the process of replacing it. While removing it 4 of the 7 bolts snapped off. i. Finally got them out after a week of wd-40 and propane torching it. but the bolts are... rough... Rough enough that i can tell what the lengths are. any of y'all know what size bolts i need for it? I'm thank full for any and all help

The easiest way out of this (IMO) is to go to your dealer parts room, have them print off an illustration of the pump install and you circle the hardware you need.
Do you really want to replace the hardened cap-screws with HOME DEPOT CHI-COM Specials?

Dorman makes a kit the will get you most of them. The originals are just grade 5 bolts. So your hardware store does have them. Originals have captured washers you will have to add washers. Coat them in anti-seize head thru thread. They hang up due to corrosion around the shank.
