It is going to be helpful at some point to identify exactly what that axle is from, but for stuff like studs it's probably not so important. There are only so many parts bins 70s GM had to pull from.

Get familiar with catalogs, real catalogs that are just a catalog of parts with data (part numbers, measurements, a cross-reference appendix). Sometimes your local Napa will still have these behind d the counter, sometimes you need to dig online. Dorman has a lot of hardware catalogs. I'm not saying use Dorman hardware, but do use their catalogs.

Their wheel stud section of the giant hardware catalog shows a couple studs as oversize options for a 610-186: 610-259 and 610-157.

Wow! It looks really good. Those wheels are sharp. Glad the wheel studs worked out.

Get a test gauge with a big dial. Something like this: https://www.harborfreight.com/fuel-pump-and-vacuum-tester-62637.html
It makes tuning the carb stupid easy too. Turn the mixture screw out for max vacuum, then back in 1/4 turn.
