302 intake bolts?

[1973grandeklar]

So I am getting ready to re-install the 302 intake and was wondering about the studs.

When disassembled there was only two studs on one side.



Should there be four studs, two studs, no studs, or something different? Ok to leave like it is and use the existing studs and bolts?

I would go with 4 studs in the center holes, really helps to line up the manifold. If you want a consistent appearance the studs can be removed and bolts installed after the rest of the bolts have been hand tightened.
