Looking for some clips and washers

I took the intake manifold off of my American yesterday and I found the
reason why it was getting loose -- the bolts are all fatigued and will no
longer hold their torque. Getting new bolts (and a few studs) wasn't any
problem but one of the long manifold bolts had backed itself out and fallen
off so I'm now missing the cupped washer that goes under it. Also, I had a
bolt where there should have been a stud at the back of the engine and the
stud at the front of the engine had just a regular flat washer on it
instead of the cupped washer. I'm also going to make a proper set of fuel
and vacuum lines for the engine and I need all of the clips that tie those
lines together.
Here's the concise list of what I need for a 1968 six cylinder (I'm sure
other years are the same):
- 1 large cupped washer for the long manifold to engine bolts.
- 2 small cupped washers for the short manifold to engine bolts or the
studs in the cylinder head.
- 2 "S" clips for the vacuum advance to fuel line (connects 3/16" to 5/16"
hard lines)
- 2 "S" clips for the vacuum wiper to fuel line (connects two 5/16" hard lines)
If anyone has any of these for sale (I'll buy complete fastener sets if
needed) or knows where I can get them, let me know.
Thanks,
Matt
