I was just working on my ac system yesterday and took a picture of the bolts. I just registered yesterday and currently can't post a picture but will try to get one posted for you. The bolts are a serrated flange head bolt and the originals have an "E" cast in the center

Doug,
I remember seeing this in Scott Campbell's restoration book. Hope it helps. It's the only place I remember seeing it.

Dash woodgrain insert repop ordered from PG Classic.  Hated to go that route but my original is just too bad.  Wish Amark still restored these but as we all know, that's a dead horse, no need to keep beating it!

I've searched the site trying to find exactly how the coil spring part number stickers were installed, but can't find anything.  An old pic I've seen looks like on the 3rd coil from the bottom, on the tire side of the spring?

Transmission cooler lines still won't fit correctly.  Think I'll just get the early 70 lines with the rubber hoses to the radiator.  Mine being an Aug 69 build, that's probably how it came anyway.

Anyone know what part of the coil spring the stickers go on?  Towards wheel?  Opposite side of wheel?  how far up?

Trying to find correct fastener to attach receiver drier to car.  Just put these in to hold it until I can get the correct ones.  Anyone know or have?

Also, what is the correct bolt for the distributor clamp?  I'm sure I have it in my pile but not sure what it looks like or the correct markings?

I went under and doubled the line through a bigger hose to avoid rubbing damage.

Thanks Tony.  Did you run the fuel line over the coil clamp or under it? Hard to see in your pic.  Not sure how was routed originally?

I also adapted to keep the coil in the stock place. Make sure you watch the fuel lines, after 10 years mine were drying up and cracking.
