Can somebody verify this before I buy a helicoil kit?
Thank you in advance.

I just came in from the garage after having checked my Holley 4010 (600 CFM, vacuum secondary). The stock Holley Torx head screws used to secure the top cover are tricky. It's hard to measure the thread diameter because the shaft is "lobed". Turn the shaft in your fingers to feel what I mean. Bottom line: I didn't want any "modern" style fasteners in my Shelby so I switched them out for 10-32 NF conventional headed machine screws to secure the top cover. The new screws fit perfectly. If your carb is anything like mine, and I think it is, you want the 10-32 NF Helicoil kit. Cheers, Tom
