Question
Dear Kevin,

I have a 1959 amc rambler (6 straight engine) now we are almost finished rebuilding the car and have a major problem.
All the connection bolts between the engine and automatic transmission are lost.
I don't know where I can find or purchase the right bolts/sizes, maybe you can help me.
Hope you'll answer my question, and that you can also give me a prise.

Regards,

Answer
Aad,
Here is a websight that lists various AMC parts vendors. Please send them an email and they can send you the necessary bolts: http://www.skidmore.edu/~pdwyer/amc/stonelist.htm
They are likely SAE 7/16" Course bolts. The depth would vary based on the bolts position.
