The only issue I had heard of is the bolts being shorter in the new sets.Quote from: The Going Thing on August 06, 2020, 04:49:05 PMWhen they first came out they did have bolts with the correct markings although slightly different in appearance. That was 25 plus years ago. In your case I suppose it has a lot to do with what mfg marks were on the bolts you took off your intake and what you got from AMK. I have seen AMK intake bolts a grade 5 with no other mark . I have seen some with a grade 5 marking and a P in the middle . I have seen others that I didn't commit to memory because they were non original markings . Needless to say but I will, yes they have changed to various versions within the last 14 years. AMK bolt supply and consequently mfg marks on the bolts have been slowly changing to more generic bolts for years. Don't get me wrong I think AMK is a boon to car restoration but it is prudent to be aware of the changes.
Bob, not to impugn on your knowledge, but unless Max has changed fasteners for the intake in the last 14 years they were EXACTLY what came off my engine. I know he is running out of some sources, so that may be true currently.

Grab the latest issue of TIME. I just read thru it.
It is no longer a journalistic endeavor.

Quote from: JWH on August 05, 2020, 07:21:58 PMI assume you may have bought some of the studded intake bolts that were used for the cars with shaker air cleaners. If you isolated the studs with the phenolic washers on both sides it would be the same situation as the factory longer intake bolts with the wahers.
Just to clarify, the "double-nut" method I refer to in post #15 above concerns installing the studs.
> remove the two stock intake manifold bolts that attach the fuel log
> install two studs in their place and finger tighten
> spin a not onto the stud
> spin a second nut onto the stud and with a wrench, tighten top nut clockwise and the lower counter-clockwise so that they "lock" against each other.
> with the nuts "locked," you should be able to exert enough force on the top nut to tighten the stud in place in the head. This is to keep it from backing out over time.
> remove the nuts and install the spacer, fuel log, spacer and nut as recommended
