Quick noob carburetor question

[1300obo]

I'm reinstalling carb on the bronco today and these are the bolts that came out of the manifold. My ocd won't let me put these back in so I was just gonna go to lowes and get 4 regular steel 5/16 -18 bolts to go back in. Is there anything special about these bolts or am I missing anything? I don't really want to order bolts

Sorry pic didn't load

Usually they’re plated or anodized. Personally, I’d wire wheel them

I'd buy 4 new bolts just to make them all match. But no, nothing special about them.

Thanks guys, heading to lowes now

See if your Lowe’s has the gold anodized grade 8s. Overkill, but the look nice. Ace carries that

Asking and answering Bronco question? Really?

And don’t forget the plated washers too.

Post pics please if it’s the full size kind. I think we all love old iron no matter the make.

Is there a spacer or anything? Those bolts seem twice as long as they need to be.

Factory, studs were used.

This is my 69. Fairly unmolested, ie parked for 31 years.

Ace always has better fastener selection and availability than Lowe's or Home Depot in my experience.

And usually there's helpful hardware folks who can take you right to the nut or bolt you need without wandering the aisles.

And usually you can buy eaches instead of little plastic baggies with a set quantity that you may or may not need.

Yeah, and speaking of that, is all this carbon something to worry about?

 

[1300obo]

Bronco? Motorcraft carb? I just threw up a little bit.

Yeah, not just one but two in this thread thanks to wes

Looks like you have the 2150 with the manual choke. When are going to start "molesting" it?

All will be forgiven with pics.

I don't know much about egr plates but that doesn't look like a ton of build up to me. I've seen a lot worse in the crossover ports of an intake.

Driving the Bronco tomorrow?

Same year model as my wife but I've known the bronco longer

Sorry, egr plate. And barring anymore issues, yes
