[DeTomaso] Carb mounting stud length

[Charles McCall]

Yup, me again

 

With all this removing and installing the carb, the partially stripped carb
mounting stud is now pretty well truly stripped. Anything more than
tight-finger-tight means free spinning. 

 

Without removing the stud, can I tell what length I need?

 

Intake is a Weiand Xcelerator, and I've got what is probably 1/8" rubber
gasket thing between the carb and intake. 

 

Any recommendations as to material and finish? I see bunches of options on
Summit. black oxide, zinc plated, etc etc

 

Thanks!
