They are BSF thread Bob. Don't  be tempted to use UNF, which will go in, as=
 it screws up the thread in the block.

I finally got a chance to get under the car while it was running (I have
a grease pit). At first, it appeared--as suggested by many--that the
leak came from the tachometer take-off as it had oil on it. Then, I
looked about and saw it spurting from the tappet cover just behind the
tach that had a bolt either missing or sheered-off (the second-most
suggested solution).

I believe these bolts are Whitworth; can anyone confirm? 1/4", about
3/4" long?

Thanks for the help,
Bob
