Trying to determine the correct bolts to attach the hood hinges to the rad support, the hood to the hinges and the latch plates to the hood.
Looking at the 58 AIM it calls for "bolt" 3722133 or optionally 3730901 for all 16 locations.
Looking at the 1960 AIM it calls for "screw and washer assy" 3751841 for the hinge to rad support and hood to hinge. It then calls for "screw" 3783713 for the latch plate to hood. (I just threw this in for reference to show that the AIM calls out different bolts between the two years)
I've included two pictures of the bolts I have. The one I "think" is correct is the middle one with the shoulder, dimple and "E". The one on the left is the current reproductions with a "C" that the catalogs say apply to all years (not according to the AIM....) and the one on the right is very similar to the "E" bolt but has a larger shoulder and an "L".
My dilemma, besides which is correct is that I don't have enough of any. I have 10 of the "E", two of the "L" and four of the "C".
Comments, suggestions?
