I took the threaded pins out so I could use it for the stud. Right now I have fender washer and a grade 8 washer stacked. The fender washer I thought was bending too much with the torque. I used a grade 8 washer to distribute the force. The grade 8 washer alone isn't wide enough in some of the slots to reach both the header and intake. The original clamps didn't work because of the difference in thicknesses of the header and intake. The washers seemed to fall into place a little better.
I did take note about carolines truck's carb facing the wrong way (acording to the tech tip)
