Anyone know if the OEM type bolts and studs are available for the TBI intake? Snapped a stud at the front driver side and it’s one that the alternator is braced off.

Get a stud, some washers, a couple nuts, and make a sleeve.

I don’t think I’d even need the spacer if I used a stud. Is this something that can get at a hardware store?

You can get threaded rod at Fastenal or any other place, you just want a hardened one - at least grade 5.

Edit - or get a long thread bolt and cut the head off. Got a tap and die set?

Zillions of them at any decent Treasure Yard, laying on the ground, or still attached to the intake manifold/engine

GM may still have them available. Have you asked the local stealership?
