What header bolts do i need??
Picked up a set of used headers, no hard ware though. Any particular type of bolt that needs to be used?? I see alot of guys with alen head bolts, other with shoulder bolts, some with normal bolts with washers. What direction should i go in??
Can the bolts be stainless?? or do i need to stay with steel??

Re: What header bolts do i need??
I just have regular old header bolts. I had studs on my '72 that worked pretty well. Probaly good to have studs if you have aluminum heads. I don't see why stainless would be a problem...

I use gaskets, no problems with leaks.
