The Pontiac threaded end of a stud will give you the depth and the amount above that is the total height including the nut. Hope this helps, FB

Project is 1973 4X 400 factory stock combo. Had been told that Mr. Gasket or (?) some company had a kit that included studs, taps, etc. to do the simple changeout. Reading Internet posts suggest machine work & other much more elaborate and detailed work needed?
Goal is to "Keep It Simple" with the changeout to retain #s matching & look. Perhaps I should just pull them send to SD...there goes that "mission creep?!!!"
Let's get Bob's Y88 thread back on track...
