Default 1990 accord ex distributor bolt size

hi i was replacing the distributor and i left to get food and when i got back they were gone. i asked everone and they said they didnt touch anything. so im left with no bolt to go find a replacement at ace's hardware. i jsut need to find out the bolt size. it is the three bolts that hold the distributor to the engine block.

thanks!

Ok, I i understand it is getting late in the day and no one else has replied. Thread size (guess) 8X1.25...length you'll have to get that on your own.-mm to in is something like 24.5mm to 1 inch. I don't like guessing but it has been an hour and no one answered so I thought I would try to help.

EDIT: forgot to ask what size the head was on the old ones...if 10mm (which I think they are), then I'm wrong in my first answer. go for 6mm dia....sorry, just thought about it more.

On the internet Honda part sites, it list it as an 8x28 bolt-washer. It didn't list the thread pitch; but, my guess is 1.25. M8 x 1.25 is common for Hondas, these are the ones with the 12mm head.

So to sum up, I believe it is M8 x 1.25 x 28. The Honda ones come with the washer.
