Default Dimensions for screws

Hey, I recently bought an 95 honda accord coupe 2.2 4 cylinder vtec, turns out the cars doesnt have some critical screws, I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to send me the specs
- 1 ground strap cap screw (near the timing belt end of the valve cover)
- 3 distributor cap screws (currently held by vice grips)

Ground screw is likely a 10mm socket size, 6mm bolt. Try swapping from another ground and purchase a replacement at auto parts.

Distributor cap screws will likely require a new distributor cap or Honda parts.

good luck

I'm with Texas, try a bolt from another spot on the engine that is a 10mm. Then bring it to an autozone/advanced auto type store and try it in their bolt identifier display.

I'm guessing its M6x1.0 though.

Ground bolt looks to be M6 x 1.0 x 16mm.

Metric thread diameter x thread pitch x thread length

As, TexasHonda stated, wrench/socket hex size would be 10mm.

Thanks, fellas (& girls maybe) but as soon as I posted it, I pretty much guessed and checked had to go to an hardware store around here and the ground strap was a 10mm and the distributor cap screws were m .7, but I improvised, glad to see so many responses. thanks again!
