So i rebuilt my 2.9 and got everything in and together yesterday but i tried to crank it and all i get is a click and sometimes an electrical buzz and am looking for some advice as to where to start my diagnosis as well as can i use standard hardware store bolts for my exhaust flange i got a set off of amazon and they wont work so im thinking of just getting some regular bolts with some flat washers and lock washers

Check your ground cable and connections from the battery. Assuming the engine turns over by hand.

As for the bolts? Yes standard hardware bolts will be fine
