| I'm in search for the size and type of screw that holds the points down inside the distributor. I thinks it's a flat head. Also, the type and size of the screw that holds the condenser in place. Any help is appreciated! |

They are all the same thread and pitch. The lengths are what is different. When you put the screw in the points you will want to check that you can fully turn the shaft 360 degrees. That will check if there is any interference. You can put any length screw in any of the holes as long as it is long enough and doesn't interfere.

I sell stainless ones in a set to cover the whole unit. If someone needs one or two used ones I have a bunch that I could throw into a package for you. You just pay the shipping.
