68 sbc starter r & s post size

[50 F1]

What is the post size for the r & s posts?  10-32  10/24 or ?

I am having a heck of a time getting up in there to get the right size nuts on there.  Low vehicles are fun.

Thanks Mike

I have not worked on a Chevy in a long time but I believe they are fine thread.

Wow, I was right.

I believe they are 8-32.

They might also be metric. Why not drop the starter, at least partially so they are easier to get at?

The only trouble is nowadays so much is changed when their built overseas
I was thinking this probably isn't OE

I went out and checked a couple starters. the ones I checked were both 8-32.

Kinda wonder the difference (if any) from OEM GM starter to various replacement solenoids

Thanks again for the info.  

I took a 8-32 and a 10-32 tap to see what nuts I was trying and they must of been metric because  the taps would not go into any of the nuts.  So I went to the parts store and got two 8-32 nuts and two 10-32 nuts, and they went right on      10-32  R      8-32  S

Thanks Mike

Glad you got it worked out. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
