Default Don't ever buy an ARP complete bolt kit

Second time i have been dumb enough to purchase one of their kits. The first time it was for a 302 and this time for an FE. I got to use the oil pan bolts and then had to use a combo of the valve cover and timing cover bolts for the timing cover. That is all i could use. HEader bolts are too long, half the intake bolts are the wrong size, valve cover bolts were right, but i had to use them on the timing cover because half the timing cover bolts were incorrect, engine mount bolts to long, and the distributor hold down bolt is the wrong size. all for the low cost of 100.00 If the package had not been thrown away, i would return them. Perhaps i should just stuff them in a ziplock and send them back anyway.
