Everybody have a preference on mounting the carburetor on intake with studs and nuts or bolts? Thanks Dave!

I like studs. But I do take it on and off more frequently. I think if you don't plan on doing that all too often it really doesn't matter.

Thanks! I just hate it when you buy a spacer and they give you studs you will need but they are way too long. After the carb. is bolted on their still 6 or 8 threads above the nut.

I use both, depending on the application and what I have in stock.

I use studs. No screwing up the threads in the manifold from frequent removal of the bolts. Plus everything lines up as you assemble the gaskets and carb. I just think it's a good way to go.
