Are you using the carb H bolt 1-1/4 inch long. I took off carbs off a 340 -6 and someone cut them. Does not seem like the intake manifold treads a deep enough for the bolts without cutting them. Thanks Bob

Thanks Bob They make two different lengths of H bolts. The 1.250 are for four barrels with the thick base gasket. Six pack used the 1.00” ones. That intake and carbs is nicely detailed but the center pivot is not the correct oem one. That is an aftermarket piece. The oem used a pin with a clip instead of a bolt. Several companies sell the correct one. I think shakerhood.com does.

just a tip.....the back mechanical return rod is VERY close to the intake and if installed backwards, it can just barely hang up against the intake when you are at wide-open-throttle & make the carburetors stick wide open (ask me how I know)

Exactly what happened to me in 1970 with my A12.
Showing off with a buddy in the car on an on-ramp, it hung up!!!
While I was busy stamping on the pedal and avoiding cars, my friend had the presence of mind to turn the key off.
My hair still stands up thinking about that one.

Thanks Bob I’ll check originals vs the two sizes I just bought from them. They probably are 1-1/8” long. The longer ones are for the thick Carter gaskets on the four barrel.
