Default Lost bolt attaching alternator to head
Hi Gents-
While sitting at a red light I heard a horriffic metal on metal sound and limped back home (no overheating, 3 mile drive). Upon opening the hood I noticed the bolt attaching the alternator into the head had broken off, shifting the alternator towards the bracket while the fan blades smacked the bracket (the bad metal on metal sound).

Engine is a Ford Racing 427 with Z heads and a Powermaster alternator. Any thoughts on the type/size of bolt I need to replace? It screws directly into the head.

Thanks!
