Couldn't account for one of the intake manifold bolts on a 2001 Lincoln Town Car, so I pulled the intake manifold back off and checked all the intake ports on the heads if it might be down in one, but all clear. Jacked the car up and looked everywhere, no luck , Screw it , went through a bunch of bolts to find a replacement , torqued the manifold down , putting everything together and found that the Illusive bolt was right in the bin , but a much longer double duty bolt for a reinforcement bracket that is held down through an extra long intake bolt. Bracket purpose is to protects the left rear of the fuel rail in the event of a collision . Hope this saves someone else a Wild Goose Chase
