Exclamation Throttle body plate screw

Could someone tell me the specs on one of the screws in a stock LT1 throttle body plate? As in what would I ask for to get a replacement?
Thanks a lot

Re: Throttle body plate screw

good luck on a new replacement but you can take one off a junkyard car like a caprice with the 4.6 lt1

I usually take one of the other screws to the hardware store and say "give me one (or six) that look like this"

Re: Throttle body plate screw

Couple years ago I changed the Torx TB plate screws, to stainless allen head screws.. I can't remember the thread size tho.. but it was at Ace Hardware store, and a standard [metric?] item..
EDIT I did the TB 'top cover plate', not the actual 'butterfly plate' that you may have meant?..

I would take one of the screws off the bottom plate, put it on the top and replace the one on the bottom with an allen head bolt from the hardware store.
