I have a kit with supposed OEM style fasteners for the stock intake installation on a 70 426 Hemi. I need to put the bolts and studs in the proper locations. Does anyone know which lengths and which studs and bolts go in which location ? Thanks, Ron

Studs = Red circles

The nuts in the current kits are not correct, they aren't even close.

Torque Specs.
Do "NOT" use bolts in location "A", use 1/4" split pins.

Here is a picture of a resto kit that is being sold on eBay. It's not a good picture, but it looks like it is a lot closer to being correct than the one Chrysler is selling.

Thanks to all of you for the information ! My machinist has the components right now. I ordered the fasteners from R/T specialties. I will have to look at them myself to see how correct/incorrect they are.
