Product Details

Features

  • Chrome steel T-bar/wing nut fastener secures valve cover, tool-free tightening
  • 5/16"-18 thread fits Pontiac & Ford Big Block valve cover applications
  • Extended T-bar design allows hand-tightening or wrench use
  • Steel construction with chrome finish adds a clean, classic look to your engine bay

Description

Secure your Pontiac or Ford Big Block valve cover with this chrome steel T-bar/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 extended T-bar design allows for easy hand-tightening, while still accepting a wrench if additional torque is needed. This is a single fastener 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.

Installation
Verify your valve cover's fastener thread size before ordering — 5/16"-18 is less common than 1/4"-20 on many small block applications. Washers and hold-down tabs are not included.

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.

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.

Do I need a tool to tighten this?
No. The T-bar/wing-style design allows for hand tightening. Use care to avoid overtightening and damaging the valve cover or gasket.

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.
