Carb Bolt for Tri power ----Identification help

[Keith B.]

Ok. I need help with these bolts. They are just like the FP bolts but have a "m" in a circle. What are they for ? Do they have value like the FP bolts?M bolts.jpg

Re: Carb Bolt for Tri power ----Identification help

I always seen the FP and LF bantered about, never the "m". Let's hope someone chimes in.

Kieth - my 68 L68 has the circle "M" bolts on both carbs. These were on the car when I purchased it: carb bolt1.jpg

Keith,
It would help if you specify the thread size/length and hex side.

Re: Carb Bolt for Tri power ----Identification help

My 68 has the same "m" bolts as shown in the pictures. They were one of the head marks used for the 1968 model year and probably others years as well on tri power cars. As far as value, who knows. Everyone gets so fixated on certain head marks and pay huge amounts to get them that they fail to realize others were often used and they go for nothing.

Memory is fading fast, but believe they are 1/4" with 3/8" head, about 3/4" or so long. Only application I know of is the 3X2 air cleaner base '67-'69. I believe there was more than one head marking used in those years. but WTFDIK, I am not anal retentive

Says who?

Well maybe a few car owners that had the pleasure/displeasure of having me as a PV judge Maybe the guy with the 390 hp that had a better sounding idle than a L/88 maybe? I know you remember that one

The stories that have occurred along the way are a small part of why we both came for the cars and staid for the people!!!!!
I remember when PaPa Smurf was the 1968-69 Team Leader and as such received a special hat from Bill Hart.

I remember Bill at one of the Oakville Ont Regionals. He had had more trouble getting there than you could imagine, blew the transmission in his tow vehicle and a couple of other problems. I was on the judging field when he got there, he was in prime form. Telling about all the trials and tribulations along the road from FL to Canada. "and to top that off, some SOB is going to rip me a new one when he does my PV" I took hold of my shirt collar, pulled it up and said "I am your SOB" Everyone around died laughing except Bill, that ruddy complexion was as white as a sheet.

People are the ONLY reason I still attend events. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new friends at each meet. No longer go to all the meets as I did years ago, I think that maybe three next year will be my limit.

I think that I looked at three cars at Frisco and maybe that many in Kenner. I have made so many friends along the way in the last 28 or so years I have belonged to NCRS and cherise each and everyone of them. I miss the ones that have gone to the great garage in the sky and the ones that are no longer in the hobby. It has been a great ride.

I seem to remember the seat track attachment to the seat using a bolt with an undersize head just about that size. But I could be all wet when I try to remember anything longer than yesterday.
