Sorry but all header bolts on my L98 are the same except for the ones that hold accessory brackets. The only one of these I can recall is the A/C compressor brace going to (I think) the 3rd bolt (stud) on the right side.

Re: Need help......I'm Dumb!!! (WEDGE)
Here's the deal. I just went and opened the hood of my stock '84. It takes a quantity of 9 bolts, 3/8-16 X 1 1/4. It takes 3 double ended studs with a hex for a wrench in the middle, 3/8-16 X 2.06/3/8 X 16 X 3/4. The studs install in the second hole back on the left side for the alternator brace, and two on the right. The first goes into the first hole for the a/c compressor brace and the remaining stud goes into the 4th hole back for the dipstick tube. THAT should do ya.

Re: Need help......I'm Dumb!!! (CFI-EFI)
Thanks guys. I got the heads,intake,t/b's,timing chain and gears on and the exhaust is bolted up, almost done. I seem to be missing a couple of bolts for the drivers manifold, but I imagine the more I put back on, the more likey I will find they ended up in the wrong bag!!
