OK I got confused on this exchanged.  Regarding the UNF threads, my info sh=
ows the 3/8 (major diameter) UNF bolt as having 24 threads per inch. The ex=

I think that may be a stretch Mike ... I know, for example, that the nuts w=
elded into the frame for the battery hold down rods changed from BSF to UNF=
 as C.#156839. I would bet that there are other instances of this.
I would always recommend checking your parts book for the correct thread fo=
r your car before running a tap through any.

Are the bolts that fasten the motor mounts to the frame different threads b=
