Hello all, I just registered today. I have followed this site for quite some time. A lot of great info I have found here. I have a 1979 F-150, 300 ci straight 6, NP435, NP205. At the current time I am restoring this truck to factory condition. I am a purest in most ways with this truck, such as buying NOS hardware for one. In the factory Illustration Manual, Sect. 120, page 4, I am looking for the correct 2 screws for the distributor Stator Assy. The manual shows a P/N of 57357-S. I don't find this number in the factory text manual. Even online searches I can't find anything on this number. The mismatched screws that came out are 8-32 x 1/2" Pan Head Phillips. The illustration shows what appears to be a slotted Fillister Head screw, the 1986 Standard & Utility Parts Catalog (the only one I have) shows a P/N of 373625-S74, the closest one I have found. I know, a lot of time spent on 2 screws I could pick up at Ace for .20 cents. I just love this truck and want to return it as close as I can to the way it was. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you all.

Thank you for the link, now I don't feel so bad. LOL. I love to see folks doing great work to their classics. The Olds was beautiful. My poor wife though, I drive her crazy with my OCD on any project I have.
