Default AIM help

At the top right of most pages is a list of the parts on that particular page. Do the part numbers for the nuts,bolts,and screws tell what size they are? If they do can I buy a book to decode the part numbers from my 1980 A.I.M.?

No. The part number will not tell the screw size. The GM Corvette Parts Catalogue lists the actual sizes for a lot of these. I have the 1980 AIM and a 1980 edition parts catalogue. Shoot me an AIM page number and the part number and I'll see what I can find.

1980 fuel pump bolts were 3/8"-16 x 1-7/16", Grade 5, with an integral washer head. Paragon has them (#1345K, 2/$4.00).

Thanks guys for helping me out. This is my problem,like a complete idiot I didn't label nuts and bolts when gutting engine compartment and interior.My A.I.M. is great for the reassembling but isn't specific enough on nuts, bolts,and screws as far as sizes and types.Do any of the corvette venders sell a book that would help me out in this department?
