So I'm trying to get the idler pulley put back in my 72 454 with p/s. I'm missing the idler pulley stud that installs in the place of one of the water pump bolts and it's out of stock everywhere I've checked. There is a similar stud in the C2 model - is this, other than the zinc plating - the same dimensions as the one I need?


C3 BBC stud.

Visually, they look the same. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

For reference, these bolts are different according to one supplier. I was, however, able to find the proper bolt by purchasing a water pump bolt kit, which contains this bolt, from Ecklers. The kit was even less expensive than the bolt by itsself - go figure!

Hope this helps someone else.
