you should really pick up a copy of the 1978 AIM (Assembly Instruction Manual).
The answer you need is in there and will also show you how EVERY part of the car goes together. It's an indispensable tool for working on your Corvette.
It's available at most of the major parts vendors or the NCRS website.

Barry's right. I bought one from MidAmerica. When you buy one be sure and get the index with it. They don't cost much and they show you every nut and bolt.
