I ordered 3/4" for my Hooker headers with aluminum heads and they are to short. I will be re-ordering 1". I have a new set of polished stainless 3/4 and will sell for a good price.

I'd contact Edelbrock and get the correct bolts, they're rather unique

From: Engineers do it better.

3/4" are too small. I bought 1" grade 8 bolts. You can buy from local hardware store, no need for special header bolts. Just make sure they are grade 8.

Header Bolts

Most part stores stock header bolts. I use a combination of hex head and allen head bolts depending on tube interference.

I used stainless ARP studs and bolts for my 1-3/4" Hookers and they works great. Super qualety and ok price. You can find them here:
