Carburetor Stud Kit 5/16 x 4.700 OAL

The Carburetor Stud Kit 5/16 x 4.700 OAL from ARP is a precision fastener set engineered for secure carburetor mounting on street and performance engines. Designed for builders and mechanics who demand reliability under thermal cycling and vibration, this four-piece kit eliminates weak OEM fasteners that commonly loosen or fail during spirited driving. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, tuning a street rod, or assembling a race engine, proper carburetor fastening is critical to fuel delivery consistency and overall engine stability.

Each stud in the Carburetor Stud Kit 5/16 x 4.700 OAL features 5/16-18 and 5/16-24 dual-thread geometry, accommodating both standard and fine-pitch fastener applications on different intake manifold designs. Manufactured from chromoly steel and finished in black oxide, these studs resist corrosion while providing superior clamping force retention compared to standard fasteners. The 4.7-inch overall length delivers adequate engagement depth for manifold bosses, and the included hex nuts ensure proper torque application without fastener rotation during installation.

Carburetor enthusiasts, engine builders, and vintage automotive restorers benefit most from this kit, particularly those working on small-block Chevy, Ford 289/302, Mopar, and other popular platforms requiring dual-thread stud compatibility. Installation is straightforward: thread the studs into manifold bosses, position the carburetor or intake spacer, and secure with the supplied hex nuts torqued to manufacturer specification. ARP's reputation for quality fastening means consistent results across multiple build cycles—essential when reliability trumps cost-cutting on fuel system integrity.
