Ordered a starter from Ebay, one of the stock bolts wasnt long enough. It holds up just fine with 1 but would like to have both in there for good measure, and heard other people had this same problem so wondering if anyone knew what size bolt I would need?

ARP makes starter bolts......but i have a MSD starter.....it comes with 2 LONG bolts

and i wouldnt be starting the car with only 1 bolt in the starter... that is a potential failure. it could kick the starter off line and start eating parts

its in there completley fine, I can't even giggle it the slightest bit with only 1 in, but i'd like some insurance...i'll check with ARP and see what they've got.

Doesn't matter if you can move it or not. One bolt is a bad idea and is just asking for trouble

ok I get it that its bad, but like I said, does anyone know where to get the longer bolt? ARP had some but their catalog is confusing as hell.

Go to Autozone and find the "Help" section. They will have the GM style starter bolts in a package. The ones you want are M10x1.5 X 48mm (short bolt) and M10x1.5 X 114mm (Long bolt). Just use your oem long bolt and autozone long bolt. Way less than going to the dealer and ordering one long expensive bolt.

Hope this helps

I will try that out too but those ones on ebay are probably less expensive, but I know the autozone ones would work. I'll get it done monday when i'm off work I shouldnt even need to jack up the car.
