TFI mod help

I believe I need to change the TFI mod on my 86 300. My problem is what size are the two hex head screws that hold it on to the dist? I ground two sockets that I thought would fit the screw head to make them fit into the recess where the two screws are. But they didn't fit the screw head. Don't want to grind on any more sockets, untill I'm sure of the size. Tired of guessin'.

it's a special tool, get it at auto zone or advanced for about $5. it has a small end that fits into the bolt area, and a place on it to use a 1/2" wrench. when you instal the new modual, make sure to use dielectric grease
