Does anyone know the size of nut used to hold the carb on the intake manifold of a 49 288?

Believe they are 5/16-24 and there should also be a lockwasher used with the nuts.

Seems as though neither 16 or 24 fits the studs. Could it be metric?

Nothing metric on a Packard unless some previous owner put in threaded inserts and metric studs which seems very unlikely!

Perhaps you need to run a die or thread chaser over the. I always clean with a brass brush and a little brake cleaner first to remove any thread gunk that can emulate a cross thread.
