Head Bolt Length
 
Someone swapped out the stud head bolt where the negative battery cable attaches and I'm replacing it. Ames has 3 different lengths. What's the correct head bolt length here? #13 heads, first cylinder on driver's side for reference.

It should be about 3/4” longer than the head casting where the bolt goes through. Your measuring tape will tell you which length to purchase.

Car is at paint and I won't have it back for a few months. Was hoping to order the part to be ready when it gets back.

3 5/8" version on modern Dports in that position.
