Recently replaced my water pump in my 87 350 TBI and noticed the bolt that the alternator pivots on is broken and im going to have to drill it out of the head and re tap and was wondering if anyone could tell me the length of the bolt its self and possible the length of thread on the bolt

It's a standard 3/8 bolt. It's like 5 or 6 inches long, sorry I can't say exactly, I'm not home.
