    91-93 Seatbelts...Need help.

    Project Notchblack: Black Interior Progress Thread w/ Pics

    Ok. A few weeks ago I posted about the little 4 banger notch I picked up for $750. I bought it from a 74 year old woman, and it is in fantastic condition except for some minor body damage. Most importantly, the interior is immaculate, and the only signs of wear are on the driver side seat...

    What size bolt???

    Ok, so i'm trying to dissassemble a shortblock, and the dampener was already off so i don't have the bolt that held it on. Anyway, I need to turn the crank but I can't. A 9/16 bolt is WAY too small, and 5/8 is too big. So, what size bolt fits in the the crank snout?
