    As I stated earlier in the thread, they come in a 12-pak. For 6 cyl cars. In order to get 16 (for 8 cylinders, just in case you aren't keeping up here...;)) I had to buy 2 sets. So at this point I have 8 spares...

    Then I bought another set of longer ones to use on the spacer side of the P heads, so that leaves me with quite a few spares...

    So even after I ship a bunch off to Bob, I will still have a bunch of spares.

    The true reason they come in packs of 12 is because the Small Block Chevy only uses 6 per side. Sad but true.

    What is the bolt pattern for the SBC that makes it use 6...is it because the middle two tubes are almost together?
