Anyone have any pics of what the correct carb bolts would be for my A12 should look like. Do they have a letter stamp on top and should there be washers? Thanks

Anyone got a pic of what the top of the intake manifold bolts should look like? Are they different since they are mounting to aluminum not cast iron? Thanks

And, when used on the Edelbrock aluminum manifold, they used washers under the head.

washers are a 3/4" outer diameter flat washer and I think are aluminum sixpack manifold only???

original untouched intake from the "butterbee" on the a12 registry forum-you can see a star washer under that bolt where the return spring bracket is.
all the best

the bee we have here has flat washers under the bolts-don`t look at the wrong position of the negative cable-it should be sandwiched between the bracket and the head like previous picture.
all the best

If you look closer you will find that is not a washer,it is the serrations in the top side of the return spring bracket that resemble a washer.

How can you trust the pictures when nobody can even get the throttle return springs correct!

maybe i should have said don`t look at many parts as we are slowly correcting them -such as the whole kickdown linkage setup-the incorrect power booster and master cylinder(now fixed with a midland ross unit-the incorrect wiper motor the wrong engine color and over painted intake etc etc. the main reason i put the picture up was to show the flat washers under the intake bolts which are correct-it isn`t a reference restoration by any means. i thought the question was about intake bolts-yes i wrongly thought there was a star washer under the bracket and after looking at the bee today i do see the serrated bracket. at the end of it all someone might have learned that there are washers under a12 and possibly aluminum intake 6pack cars and someone learned that there is no star washer under the return spring bracket...
all the best

I think they used the flat washers on the intake-to-head bolts to prevent galling from the harder bolts on the AL., thus giving a false torque reading.

Correct, no washers in '70 on the cast iron intakes............
