Default 74 BB Exhaust Manifold Question

Hi All –
I realize this may seem like a pretty stupid question but I’m trying to piece back an original exhaust manifold system for my 74 BB. I’m seeing two different part numbers for the bolts – center and end. Can someone tell me – are there two different bolt sizes that bolt the manifold to the engine?

Thanks very much!

Looking at complete sets there are all sorts of combinations, with power steering, with power steering and AC, with AC, etc. Some of them include studs to mount brackets. So there could be two different pieces of mouthing hardware a bolt and possibly a stud. Have you looked at the kits for the appropriate set of options your engine has?
