carb stud size
I am slowly purchasing my fenton 2x1 set up and was wondering what the size is. Thread size and length. The intake is for a 58 235. And can I get these studs @ any parts store? Thanks

Re: carb stud size
Carb studs are usually double ended and each end is a different thread. Mostly 5/16" with NC on the manifold end, and NF on the carb side.

Re: carb stud size
Now NF is that fine thread and NC coarse? I'm not too keen on abbreviations.(notice)

Re: carb stud size
235 uses 3/8" carb studs. I don't know what thread the intake you have uses, you probably need to try a coarse thread and see if it screws in (by hand!)
Stock ones use a fine thread for the nuts that hold the carb on. Like he said, different threads on both ends of the stud is very common, and real parts stores sell them in the Dorman line. |

Re: carb stud size
FYI: Sometimes those stud bottom out in the intake not letting the nut push down on the carb base or the top of the studs hit upper parts of the carb. The studs may need to be trimmed and/or grindededed. TYPICALLY/COMMON

Re: carb stud size
I would wait until you have everything (less the studs...) before doing anything. You can check everything else to see what the thread is and jot it down.

Re: carb stud size
The catalog is beyond ridiculous! 15yrs ago when I worked in a machine shop I had them on speed dial and they knew me by name!

Re: carb stud size
A REAL hardware store will have bins of hardware,.... Once you know the sizes,....they'll gladly help you find the correct items. And you don't have to buy a whole package, either.

Re: carb stud size
We are fortunate to have one here in Atwater (of all places!) BUT...last 2 times I was in the bolt bin, the stock was quite low...the hired help said they weren't re-ordering anything lately. I am nervous...
