Gen 1 Timing Cover Bolt Positions

[docs302]

Can anyone tell me where the two timing cover bolts with the threaded studs on the end are positioned? There are 19 different bolts. I see two smaller studded bolts come up into the oil pan from below but there are two large bolts that obviously go through the front. I'm not seeing anything clear on YouTube or the picture in the Ford assembly manual.

I took this picture during disassembly - hopefully you can zoom in for reference. If I remember correctly, there’s a couple with larger size heads as well.

And here’s the front 4 of the oil pan if needed;

There is also an oil pan stud on the left / drivers side of the pan. It is the second bolt back.

I am seeing two bolts with a threaded stud at the top inside right and top outside left then a larger stud right below the one top left. I have two large bolts but not those smaller top bolts. Weird. I saved everything in a bag when I took it off.

That larger one is part of the alternator hardware - I just threaded it back in to keep track of where it went.
