Holley intake screw thingy

Tried posting this when the forum was down. But what I want to know is where can I find the screw that holds the intake assembly to the carburetor. I just got a racing beat intake for the carb and I thought it would come with one like in the picture but that is apparently only for the stock carb. I asked my local auto parts stores and they didn't know where I could find one. Any help?

try going to home depot or any place that sales threaded rods. just bring the stock one w/ you so that you can get the one that has the right thread and diameter, then you can cut it to the right height and put it in.

I don't have one right now. I really don't want to un-bolt the carb and bring that into home depot. Can somebody maybe take their screw out and measure it for me.

If you are talking about the center stud on the Holley for the air filter assembly then that threading size is 1/4" - 20 coarse. That is the threading on my Holley 600 DP carb.

Thanks, does it matter what type of metal. Also to make me look more like an idiot what does 20 coarse mean? I may swing by home depot or lowes tomorrow and try to find that.
