Those resemble the 5140 alloy rods Ace sold. He also sold 4340 rods but they were “H” beams. As many have already said, replace the bolts and have the rods reconditioned. I would add to have the rods magnafluxed as well.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
