Name that Bolt/Stud??

I'm about 90% sure this came off the car somewhere. I believe it mysteriously appeared on the shelf after the third weekend of the cam swap. I labeled and bagged all parts and bolts that came off. I guess this one somehow managed to slip by. It looks pretty important. Any ideas??

Thanks

I was thinking rocker studs so I googled that and checked images and sure enough this came up.

Damn, I think you're right. That is a huge relief. I'd hate to have parts fall off while driving down the road.

Luckily I installed new ARP 7/16 studs. That would have been real ****ed up if I had forgotten to put a stud back in.

Thanks

Were there 15 other of these studs lying around?

Yes, but I placed them in a seperate spot. I guess one of them got away.

Are you running yet or has the rain slowed you down?

The rain slowed me down this past weekend. I have work all week so I'm stuck until Saturday. I'm real close now though. I probably have about three or four more hours to put the radiator, fans, shroud, and air ducts back in. I also have to double check all electrical connections and hoses and upload the new tune. I'm hoping for good weather Saturday.
