Try this place ClipsAndFasteners.com - Automotive Retainers,Clips and Fasteners
they handle almost everything.the only downfall is,you have to buy in bulk.
The parts book is saying it's a stud,it doesn't list the size or part no.
This is just example.

Use a stud and a flange nut and nobody will ever tell the difference.

The stud in post #5 appears correct. I don't a have an old 70's SBC near by to verify, but my guess is the stat housing bolts on those are also 3/8 course thread so you should be good with that one.

Thanks Lurbie for the part number! Found a Chevy dealer in Michigan who had 4 in stock and I bought all 4.
