Lightbulb header bolt length and quantity question

alright, so I want the arp header bolts, with the 5/16" hex head. I have pacesetter longtubes, race style coated. Would 1 inch long work, or are they too long? Also, would I need 12 or 16 of the little buggers? Just trying to figure it out before I buy them. Also, I am gettin stainless.

I think I used 1", but it's been too long to remember now. You need a total of 12.

Go with the 1". They won't bottom out. I used Breslins 1" on a 3/8" thick flange and they worked fine ('96 aluminum heads).

I would definitely go with the 1" bolts, especially with the thick flanges on the Pacesetter headers.

Re: header bolt length and quantity question

so with the long tube pacesetters it only needs 12 bolts total?
