Heater housing bolt size?

[V8PunkRocket]

I apologize for what is likely a ridiculous question, but what size bolts are used to bolt the heater housing to the firewall? (707 heater).

I didn't take my car apart, so its sort of like putting together a puzzle with no good picture of what its supposed to look like. None of the bolts I got with the car seem to want to thread into the firewall. Any info would be greatly appreciated, as Google doesn't seem to be of much help with this issue.

Thanks!

I apologize for what is likely a ridiculous question...

There are no ridiculous questions, just ridiculous people! But, here's a ridiculous answer, from the Parts Manual:

So, we have a MoPar P/N - 1838 158. What does that tell us? Nuthin'! I'm Googling and checking some NOS sites, will let you know if I turn up anything...

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply! I have that manual too, and you’re right - that number is basically meaningless! Let me know if you find anything - I couldn’t!

Let me know if you find anything - I couldn’t!

I've put the question to Dick Koch, Patron Saint of the '59 Plymouth and Ace Hardware Guru! Please stand by

Because I'm such a mensch, I took one of the screws (not bolts) out of my housing for measurement:

The screw is 1" long, the shank is 3/16", overall width is 1/4", the TPI is 10. The head takes a 3/8" socket. Howzat?!

Fantastic! I do thank you for your time and effort! Definitely a big help!

Dan - You the man.

Dan - You the man.

That would be you, Dick! As Ace's Ace Hardware Guy, would that be a #10 screw?
