I assume some kind of acorn or sheet metal nut but not certain of the exact type. Thanks in advance!! Joe 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

They were old and corroded when I got the car, and I found some nuts at my local NAPA that were the exact same shape. I have no idea if the finish is the same on the NAPA nuts as the originals were since my originals were too corroded to tell what finish they had in the first place. I'm pretty sure I still have the bag since it contained about 20 or 30 nuts - I'll look around when I get home later this morning and get you a part number. 1974 'Cuda 360/TKO 1990 Ram Van 1998 Neon

I was also thinking the originals may have sealer on them to prevent water leaks from the top side of the hood? Sure would like to know the details from one of our many E body guys!!!! 70 Road Runner 383-4 4 speed FJ5 & black guts 70 Charger R/T 440-4 4 speed FJ5 & white guts

They're small and light so I should be able to put 12 in an envelope and just use a regular stamp to send them, so if you'd like, PM me your address and I'll throw a dozen in an envelope and send them your way. I've already got a bunch of envelopes and more stamps than I'll ever use, so it won't cost me anything. 7218112-Nuts01.JPG (59 downloads) 1974 'Cuda 360/TKO 1990 Ram Van 1998 Neon
