Correct Bell Hsg. bolt ?
I need to order a set of the 6 bolts that attach Bell Hsg. to block on a 71 w/350 car.
Zip states the bolts have A code stamped, Corvette Cental states it is a M stamp.
Can anyone break the tie?
Thanks
David

It may depend if your 71 has an early or late build date.
My 70 w/350 was built in July one month before 71 production and it has "M" bolts.
That may not help you but might give you a referencing point.

I have seen both of them, but have not checked production dates of cars to verify. Our car had a set of A on it, it was a 350 base 4 speed which worked out to what our vendor was stating was proper for them. Now with that said, I have not found where NCRS says which one is correct or that it is even judged.

Hi David,
My mid-January 71 car has hex head bolts with a washer flange and a mark of a small, but capital, E, with a circle around it.
I'd think there would be several suppliers and thus several head marks... maybe even mixed in the same bin.
Big Fun!
Regards,
Alan

My take away here , is that this is not an issue to get stuck on for the correct letter. I will order some bolts and get going.
I plan to put the motor back in Saturday.

Please note, that Alan is the original owner of his # 1+ condition car , and his input here indicates that a note may be a good idea on the description of your bolts in your catalog stating that teh letter may vary by car.
