Hi
does someone knows the size of the thread original carburetor studs? I'm adding a thicker temperature insulation gasket and I'm going to need longer ones. Thanks!!

I went through this with my 56 Dodge and what I found out was:

FINAL UPDATE - on this topic. Bought 5/16" x 24 nuts and lock washers at Lowes yesterday. Not stainless. Just the regular plated. Installed them. Saved the original nuts and lock washers for the next purist.

The intake manifold is threaded 5/16"-18 and the factory studs have 5/16"-24 at the carb end. Summit has a variety of studs in different lengths.
5/16"-18 All-Thread rod will work but the correct type studs with a space between the two threads can be torqued into the manifold and won't back out when the nuts are loosened.
