i need to buy some bolts for a flywheel to bolt up to an engine on a H.O 50 and was wondering if i should get some grade A bolts from anywhere or get them from a auto parts store? thanx for the help in advance.

You mean grade 8 bolts - no, you should get bolts from Ford or a parts store if they even carry them.

correct never use grade 8 , they shear instead of bend, never use them in a sterring application either. How many time I have seen trucks in the middle of the trail with broken grade 8 hardware [Roll Eyes]
