Looking for details on the phillips head screws that attached the two halves together on the 3 piece distributor shield.
How long, head diameter, etc.
A GM part number would be great.
Thank you ,
Bill

The GM Part number was 163162. However, it was never available in SERVICE.
I have some of these on my original shielding but I can't get at it right now. As I recollect, the screws were self-tapping, pan head phillips. I believe they were size 6 but I'm not sure. They were short-----maybe 1/2" to 5/8" and were zinc plated.

If you use a screw that is longer than the original length, the longer screw will hit the distributor housing beneath the plate and prevent the plate from moving. I had this happen.

Yes, you're correct regarding the internal 2 piece RF shield used to shield the points and condenser for 1970-74 Corvettes. However, I believe the original question involved the screws on the 3 piece shield on radio-equipped Corvettes which surrounded the distributor for RF shielding. That shield was used for L1969-E1970.
