Need some help with coil bracket bolts!
Need some help with coil bracket bolts! Hey guys, I am finishing up swapping heads and I picked up a set of 99+ valve covers, because the car is a 98 and my old covers obviously won't work. Well I ordered some coil brackets from the dealership and need some help with the bolts I'll need to put this thing back together.
I will need the bolts to hold the bracket to the cover. I think I'm going to go to the hardware store for these... Does anyone know the size and how many I'll need?
Secondly, what bolts will I need to connect the coils to the brackets. I was looking and it doesn't seem that there are any threads in the coil bracket holes to connect the coils to... Can I reuse the bolts that hold the coils down from the old setup with the 98 valve covers?
Thanks!

6 per side but most use 3 or 4 after fighting ONE time to get 6 off and scratching up their arm. Not sure on the size but it's a common bolt used elsewhere on the motor. If you look at the new valvecovers you can count the holes it attaches to and try a bolt to see if it threads.
For the coil to the bracket I'm almost 100% sure you can use the same bolts from the 98 coils.

Yeah, I asked what bolt it was to mount the bracket to the cover... not the coil to the bracket. That's what I was more interested in... Also, I needed to know how many per side, because not all the holes line up
This looks like the coil to bracket bolts:

My spec didn't say that bolt size but I searched and found this kit, LT1 to LS1 coil conversion with parts description:
8-#10258914 bolt (or 6x1x20mm equivalent)

I got the coil-to-bracket figured out. I just went to Home Depot and picked up a set of 6mm x 12mm and used three per side. Cost me like $2.98. Works like a charm. Now I've just got to figure out how to mount the coils to the brackets. I'm hoping I can just use the bolts that I already have from my 98 application.
