I REFUSE to do business with gmpartsdirect.com any more. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE service / group all around.


Scoggin Dickey I guess? Anyone have a part number?

I has a few. I had to get one a few years ago and the only way GM would order them is if I bought it bulk. Shoot me a PM w/ your address and I'll rummage through the garage tonight and find them and send one out.

I know dude I waited almost a month for a timing set and they would NOT refund my money although their site says you will have it in 7-10 business days.

Dude it's such a small part just pay the dealer a few bucks extra and get it today and not pay shipping.

You must not have read....

The dealer (at least in Brians case) had to ORDER it, and made him buy in bulk.

Im sure my podunk retarded chevy deal wouldnt have it, and would want an arm and leg to order it.

Brian gave me the hook up and it will work out great.

Thanks for your concern though.

I sell fasteners, among other things, for a living so I could easily source it. I would have to get at least 25 though and I'd rather have the GM piece in there. Just how I like doing things.

Thanks again SS RRR

Why even bother if you can get the bolt at a local hardware in grade 8?

stevo9389

have YOU found one? i have found almost every bolt for an LT1 in a hardware store except a crank hub bolt + washer. please share you findings and experience using one because as much as i would love an OEM one like the rest i wouldnt mind trying it out.

My local ACE hardware stocks 7/16-20 Grade 8 bolts, and so does my local Menards. Was just there today looking at them.

That doesn't mean the shank of the bolt will fit. Maybe there is a bolt now, but years ago when I was searching for one the only bolt I found would indeed thread, but the shank would not fit through the crank hub, nor could I find one the correct 2 1/4" length.

Lemme double check what I have, but I still have the washer left over from the original.

ARP makes small block balancer bolt kits that come with a heavy washer. 200,000 psi tensile strength. At 2.47 inches UHL, they are .22 inches longer than the needed 2.25 original bolt. I'd think that there's additional depth in the crank snout. 12 point heads, you can use them to crank the engine. Three different head diameters:




OR:

You guys could just use a standard ARP bolt. They rate them at
170,000 psi tensile strength which is stronger than grade eight hardware.

In five packs:

7/16-20 2.250
Black oxide, hex head: 753-2250, $15.00 at Summit
Black oxide, 12 point head: 743-2250, $16.00 at Summit

I would NOT use stainless.

You all have downloaded to your computer and studied the ARP catalog, right?
