Justin,
I can measure some this weekend if you need. They are special in that they have a thin head (which leads to the heads often being rounded on used ones) and I believe they are a "hard" bolt as well. They go in with a pretty high torque and red loctite. I got some from Jerry Danner at Mile Hi Body Shop in Denver recently, or you could try Mike Conally at Conntech in Warwick, RI, or East of Sweden Saab in Broomfield, CO as well. 7 bolts are required. They are the same for "B" and "H" engines, but in 1989 or 900 there was a change to the clutch which resulted in a change to the bolts (thinner head). Use the later bolts if you are using a later clutch (which I did because it's still available). I believe there were also a couple of different lengths (not sure why unless they were different for the flex plate on a car with an Automatic trans). Send me a note off-line if you want me to measure some when I get back this weekend.
Good Luck!
Gary
