What size screws hold the Idle Solenoid on the Q-jet?

[anthonychacon80]

I just bought a NOS idle solenoid for my Jet Stage II Q-jet. There were no screws included since I would have just re-used the ones. However, the Jet one did not come with the screws, only the pre-drilled holes. Anyone know a size, thread for those screws? It looks like they are beveled? Or if anyone has a junk Q-jet laying around and wants to stick a couple in a plastic baggie and into an envelope and mail them to me..... :lol:

Otherwise i am Sure Lowes would have what I need... but I dont want to have to take my carb off the car and bring it in to hunt for the right size.

I stopped at Lowes and bought several sizes. None worked. Uhg. Why doesnt the service manual list things like this!?

well i never found the right size screws. BUT I did find a wrecking yard in the chicago suburbs and I went out and found the first GM with a quadrajet I came across and took the screws off. They were strange looking screws, but fit my carb. I also took the idle solenoid and paid $10 figuring it should still work. I just came in from putting it on my car and IT WORKED! now my car does not stall out when I have the AC on.
