[6pack] Long head bolts

[Jay Snable]

The bolts on my '73 were in the front right locations when I received  
the car 18 years after manufacture. Now whether that's where they  
originally were is another question! I always wondered if they were in  
the front in order to bolt on an accessory like A/C or something...  
Now all the bolts are the same length as I went with the ARP solution  
the last time I had the head off...
