Roger thanks for picking up on this question. I have the stock Ford FE timing cover. I tried a 10-24 machine screw but it only went in about 3/4 turn. If i knew the correct thread I would start with confidence to blind tap it. Access to the front is difficult as I am not on a lift. I just do not want to mess up any good threads I have or have left.
