Below is an ATTACHING HARDWARE LISTING. It gives sizes. The cap screws should have lock washers installed. GRADE 5 is what you are looking for. No HOME DEPOT! Most hardware now is off-shore junk. After installing and run through some heat cycles it is a good idea to re-torque.
As for the VALVE, if inoperable you will need to confirm frozen in open position or safety wire in open position. If you remove the pintle shaft you will need to add welds to close the holes.
If the valve is still operable, I would just safety wire it to stay open. Leaded gasoline is what disabled them.
OH! If you could when you get the manifold, if you could take an overhead shot w/ the CASTING ID and post it here I would appreciate it.
