Quick Intake Bolt Question

It has been a ridiculously long time since I took my intake off my truck due to a broken bolt when attempting to remove the water pump. I got everything polished and painted and wanted to order a new set of ARP bolts to put it back on. I could have swore that there was more than one length of bolt used for the intake whenever I took it off. Am I crazy? From searching the forums I see that the factory length is 1 1/4" and looking at Summit's website, all the bolts look to be one length. If someone could just confirm that I don't need anything special depending on whether I have AC or some other options, I would really appreciate it.

Re: Quick Intake Bolt Question

Use bolt thread sealer or you may have coolent leak up the bolt hole onto the intake.

Re: Quick Intake Bolt Question

The original A/C compressor bracket bolted to the two front intake bolts on the passenger side, so longer bolts were used in that spot on trucks with air.
