Description
Secure your Pontiac or Ford Big Block valve cover with this chrome steel Y-top pull-apart wing nut fastener, sized for a 5/16"-18 thread — less common than the 1/4"-20 thread used on many small block applications, so verify your valve cover's fastener thread size before ordering.
The pull-apart design separates into two pieces — letting you thread the lower section into place first, then attach the Y-top for hand-tightening — which can make installation easier in tight-clearance spots than a one-piece fastener. This is a single fastener, 4-3/16" overall length with a 1" thread length — sold individually, so confirm how many you need per valve cover before ordering. Washers and hold-down tabs are not included.
Applications
Fits 5/16"-18 thread valve cover applications, commonly used on Pontiac V8 and Ford Big Block V8 valve covers.

Q&A
Will this fit my Pontiac 400 valve cover?
Yes, provided your Pontiac valve cover uses a 5/16"-18 hold-down thread. Verify your existing hardware before ordering.
What does "pull-apart" mean for this fastener?
The fastener separates into two pieces: a lower threaded section that installs into the valve cover first and a Y-top that attaches afterward. This can make installation easier in areas with limited clearance.
Will this fit a Small Block Chevy valve cover?
Only if the valve cover uses a 5/16"-18 thread. Many Small Block Chevy applications use 1/4"-20 hardware, which is not compatible with this fastener.
How many of these do I need for one valve cover?
This fastener is sold individually, not as a set. Count your valve cover's hold-down points to determine the quantity needed.
Does this come with washers or hold-down tabs?
No. Washers and hold-down tabs are not included.
What thread size is this fastener?
5/16"-18 with a 1" thread length.
