In the front of the shop manual there's a chart with the size and 
torque specs on almost every crucial nut and bolt on the car. In 
general these are at least grade 5 SAE.... I'm sure some of the 
crucial engine and drivetrain fasteners are grade 8. Check your cans, 
with luck the stuff is probably sorted by area ie.: can 1-- front 
suspension, can 2 radiator shroud. In general, anything not specified 
in the chart isn't that important --- just use what fits until you 
learn better. This DOES not count for engine/drivetrain 
fasteners...find the right one or buy new! Get yourself a good 
hardware assortment and have at it!
