I need two screws that I can't find.

The first for the ECM. The ones that hold on the plate where the chip goes.

The second for the AC canister to the frame rail.

If anyone has an extra screw, let me know.

hm... I would think you can go to the hardware store and get what you need. And when I say hardware store, I mean the local mom-and-pop place, not the big chain. They don't sell crap.

The accumulator/dryer bracket should use the same bolt as any number of fittings under the hood. Check the bolts that hold the inner fenders to each other. If that fits, find one of those.

As for the chip access plate, I think you will find that they are pretty standard sheet metal screws. So if it's not a PERFECT match, well, it will make itself one. If you go that route, I would pre-fit the screw then be sure no metal scraps fell into the ECU.

The Actuator/dryer is actually an oddball size as far as I can tell. If I knew the thread size I'd go buy one.

As far as the ECU, I'm going to try to get one off another ECU first.

What I am suggesting is that the inner fender might donate one. If so, then you can get a match... maybe...

GM has a few bolts that are wacky pitches.

I found one that fit on the AC part. It's more of a coarse thread, like a speed nut type.

I don't know if it's right, but it fits and does the job.

Still looking for the ECU screw.
