Missing a bolt?

[thec1arity]

I was looking around the engine this morning and noticed that one of my bolts on the distributor is missing. Anyone know where I can find a replacement or if places like ace/home depot sell that kind of stuff?

Thanks.

first of all... it's not a distributor, it's an ignition coil pack. and i believe those little guys are 8 or 10 mm bolts... perhaps someone could chime in with the thread pitch. if nothing else i can go snatch one off my little car and scope it out for ya.

Guess I was using the "old school" term for it..or...just outdated.

Thanks.

there are still vehicles running around with distributors... these cars just aren't one of them i think some of the older ones had them though. but we are distributor-less

when i got my car and was misssing little stuff like bolts trim pieces inside stuff, junkyard was my best friend. didnt have to worry about being the right size and all that junk

CAPS shows that it is an M6 (6mm diameter shank) x 1.0mm thread pitch x 50mm long shank.

Ah distributor how I miss thee.......

Anyway, don't really need it but just pull one of the other bolts out and head to the (edit in; nearest hardware store. Apparently the nickname for Home Depot is a naughty word ). They'll probably have something there (though it may have a shoulder, but as long as it fits in the hole it doesn't matter).

If they don't have it then hit Napa or the JY.

Why not just pull one of the other bolts out and take it to the hardware store to measure it?

Because that makes entirely too much sense, sir.
