John - you did not address whether the screw would be pointed or blount tipped and with or without a cutting slot in the threads.

I will point out that all of the pics in this post and your own catalog show a washer head screw; they seem to fit OK. Any wrench or socket used to install the screw would have a larger diameter than the washer head. I guess a screwdriver might not.

Larry, Pointed end, etc. Would not make much difference as long as the head is correct. I think you got a replacement from me. They are identical on the head except for the logo.
I was wrong before. The head is a very small washer head.

Meanwhile if the screw you have right now is holding OK I wouldn't mess with it. The thread on the replacement is a tad courser than the4 original. Don't touch it as the next screw could end up being loose and then what do you do.

Purchased one from Richard Fortier a while back, had counter sunk head, diamond logo, 1/4 recessed, with small shoulder. Works perfect.

Dan...I looked at his Drive Line ad...shows a 63 clamp screw for $35....1/4 X 1/2 with 3/8 hex head with triangle logo. The 64 screw is 1/4 hex. Is your car a 63 or 64...I thought it was a 64,

By the way...did you buy a 326 water pump from Bill Mock last year....I traded mine in and called him to buy it back...I think he said I was a day late...that you bought it.

Hi Larry, mine is a 64 380 unit with 1/4 screw. Traded some 326 pumps towards a 175 pump for the 64. I can't use any 326s, so wasn't me.

Dan, You could not have a 1/4" OD screw with a '7380 clamp. Could you?

I double checked and the Fortier Driveline Ad facts above are correct; however, I suspect it is a misprint.

John, it's the 1/4 hex head, diamond logo with slight built in flange under the head, fits in the hole OK. Sorry for confusion?

Thanks my friend. I know this Dan. Problem arises is that I really can't spend so much time on one screw. Buried with work. And way behind for sure.
Yes the head is a 1/4". Take care. John D
