I guess TTI's quality has gone down over the years when it comes to their coatings! The TTIs on my Cuda were bought back in 2008 and they still look new, no rust whatsoever.
You should be able to get the center bolts at a parts store. We always had them in stock at the Car Quest I used to work at. If they don't have them in stock they can order them for you. They will be oversized in length and once the springs are bolted together you cut off the excess threaded...
The question you should ask yourself is do you prefer to keep things original or do you prefer to have a system that works better than the factory stuff. That should give you your answer.

If you're talking about the radiator overflow tank, I have a 1 quart with my 5.7 hemi. I live in the desert southwest and the 1 quart tank has always worked for me.
Yup, I have a friend that is a paint and body guy and the shop he works at used to use Sherwin Williams. I don't know if they still do, but whenever I see him I give him a hard time about painting cars with house paint! :rofl:
I've been messing with carbs since 1970. I worked as a professional mechanic (back before they were called service techs) and I have always done my own carb tuning. I will agree that the Holley carbs have a lot more tuning capability but I wouldn't run one on a street engine if you gave it to...
