Power plate install question

[djj624]

Just purchased a used power plate do I use stock replacement plenum and throttle body gaskets?

Yes

It would be a good idea to replace the two most rear bolts with studs & nuts. After the power plate and two gaskets are installed, there's not much thread left in those two areas and easy to strip them.

I'm new to Turbo Buicks and feel I have seen different power plate designs. Is one better than another for overall street performance?

They have diff plates for different plenums.

Old post, but does anyone know the correct size studs to throw in there?

Take your removed bolt to Home Depot & match up your thread size . I purchased a piece of threaded rod & cut to your desired length ( think I made them about 1/4” longer than the removed bolts.)
Don’t over torque when you install
