Default Bolt Question

Anyone know the size to the bolt from the hood to the hood prop? (it takes two, tried a 5/16-18 and 1/4-20, could it be metric?)

Thanks for the help

What year? There are no metric fasteners on the earlier cars; could be metric sizes on the later models.

I think 78-82 may have used M10 X 1.5

edit: sorry did not see your updated post



The Parts Book shows 14"-20 x 1/2" for 1968-76
