Bolt help needed.

Trying to button up the 455 short block and am having issues locating the oil pump bolts. I looked at the threads in the main cap and it looks like they may be 5/16 fine thread. Does anyone know the grade, size, thread and length? ( I believe one is longer than the other). Also I need the same info for the bolts for the new pickup. The pump is a new melling HV pump and the pickup is matched to a 7 qt pan.
I also found the bolt I have pictured and can't for the life of me remember where it goes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The pictured bolt is the cam/uppr timing gear/fuel pump eccentric bolt. Not sure on the oil pump bolts.

Thank you, i bought a new roller cam and the new cam bolt has a roller on the end. I realized what it was about a half hour ago.
