Interesting, I bought some 10-24 nuts trying to figure out the size, but they wouldnt really thread onto the screws more than 2 turns.
They are kinda beat up though, thanks for the info, I will give it a shot.

That sounds about right last I remember. Possibly the threads are tore up from the heat of the exhaust???

Yeah, the threads are pretty hammered on a few of them. I brought one of the bolts into Home Depot, and managed to find a nut that screwed onto that bolt about 3 turns (10-24), but when I brought it home it wouldnt fit on any of the rest of them so I wanted to see if anyone knew for sure if that was the correct size.
Im gonna look around locally some more and if I cant find them I found a place online that will ship each for $1.69.
Thanks for the help, I will post back re: my success hopefully.

buy a cheap thread chaser or tap and clean the threads up

Ive got a complete set, havent done that yet, the heads are beat up too so I figured I would replace them. Looks like someone used vicegrips to remove them at one point, and an incorrect size allen wrench.

Found some at, guess where, ACE hardware.
Now I just need to get some packing and I will be nearly good as new.
