On my '70 model all are coarse thread bolts. The cradle bracket uses (2) 7/16 x 1 inch bolts in the front and a 3/8 x 1" on the drivers side to mount it to the engine. Where the pump mounts to the cradle bracket, the front bolt is a 3/8 x 3/4" and the rear uses a stud and a 3/8" coarse nut. Depending on which stud you have you may need a 1/4 inch spacer. The adjustment bracket uses (2) 3/8 x 3/4" bolts to mount it to the pump and a 1/2 x 1" bolt at the water pump for adjustment. I hope this helps.

What Jim said. That's exactly what my 71 454 has.

An added note: The adjustment bracket also uses a 1/4 inch spacer between it and the pump on the lower bolt hole.
