hopefully a fairly simple question;
i have a 253 with a new reproduction 4barell manifold on it (not sure of brand - got it from the mechanic).
i have a quadrajet to go on, but havent got bolts/studs long enough to hold it down! (on the quad atleast 2 of the bolts/studs go all the way through the carb).
anyone know the specs of the bolt or stud/nut i need for it? UNC 5/16 yeah? also how long, and where would i get something like that? asked autobarn/repco/rare-spares last weekend, but no luck getting studs long enough.
help would be appreciated. :)

Have heard of threaded stock, when i worked as a fitter and turner its what most called it and at college when i apprenticed it was always called booker rod. All 3 work if the shop keeper isnt sure you can throw all three at him.

Threaded rod would be a simple universal name that should be understandable by description. Rod that is threaded. Allthread, Booker rod, threaded stock, cyclone rod. They can be well known in certain industries and trades. If it is old or rare - Cut it! http://www.ehlimo.com.au/ |

Id never heard of Allthread, although its name is very descriptive & leads you to assume its threaded rod.
Ive always had it called "B rooker Rod" wherever Ive worked, so seeing "booker" got me a little confused. I did a little google search & found this: http://www.hobson.com.au/page/history.html
"Threadrolling was a relatively new technology which held great potential. Brooker, of the coined phrase "BROOKER-ROD", started producing fully threaded rod (ALL THREAD) just after the war." I guess its just the Australian way of knocking out a few syllables or letters wherever possible to make things simpler!

well now i feel like a tool hahaha i have never wrote it down before or read it of paper and to me it just sounded like booker rod. noone has ever corected me in 11 years in the indurtry.
I had an arguement with a guy once on a job in W.A i had to order a Viton O-ring for some hydraulic part, he said it was Vitron not viton he ended up being wrong and larfed about it cause he had been in the industry for over 30 years and one of the best hydrualic fitters i had ever met and noone had corrected before him either.

thanks for the help.
didnt end up going for some threaded rod, as Bursons had 3+1/4" 5/16 UNC->UNF stud and nut sets. should do the trick. :)
