🔧 Moroso 3.5-inch Carburetor Stud Kit - Model 37961 Review

Used to purchase carburetor studs from another manufacturer that were askew. The Moroso spikes were real and straight. Worked as expected.

The photo used is incorrect. The photo shows chrome bolts, chrome nuts and chrome washers. I have black oxide bolts, flat nuts and washers. I need them now and will use them now but what a disappointment! One caveat, they have an option for safety wire if you need it.

I bought these extended studs so I can use a phenolic gasket between the carburetor and the engine (hot starting issues on an old truck). The specified torque for these 5/16 inch bolts is 12-15 ft-lbs. Using my torque wrench, I increased the torque to 12 ft-lbs before the threads on the shaft snapped. I used the nuts that came with the rivets. Unlike the Revain photo, the studs have been plated with black oxide rather than nickel/zinc as shown. The quality of the steel used in it is very poor…
