Battery Ground Bolt Missing

[malibubronco]

Where can I get the bolt that holds the battery ground wire
to the engine block on a 73 302 eb. I dropped it under the
beast and can't ind it anywhere.
TIA

Should be just a standard hardware item. Something like a 3/8" or 1/2" coarse thread kind of dude?
Been so long since I messed with mine, but that's what I seem to remember.

Your driveway must be just like mine. Insatiable appetite for nuts, bolts, washers and little thingies that are critical.

Don't worry it will turn up stuck in one of your tires.

Buy a magnet!

Why not just disconnect the other end and bring the whole wire to the hardware store to find the bolt you need?

He needs the bolt that goes into the block.

I had mine out over the weekend. Its short and stubby (ha!). Paul was right, coarse thread (I think 1/2") but get the 3/8" too just to be safe.
