Does anyone make a kit for oil pump to front cover bolts? I thought T/A made a set in black oxide but I can't find it in the catalog or on there web site. Thanks in advance.

I use 1/4 20 Allen head bolts from Ace Hardware. I use the old KB booster plates, so the bolts need to be longer than stock, but you can match up the stock bolts. I also helicoil all the pump threads in the front cover so there are no worries with stripped threads.
 
My kits don't have block oxide, I use stainless socket head cap screws.

I'm guessing you noticed the hard way that normal hex bolts won't clear the casting?
 
Thanks for the input. I ordered some ARP black oxide hex heads. I like the quality of the ARP and still made in the USA! I have found some hardware store bolts are off shore and the quality is not good.
