Default Condenser screw

My car has a "uniset" point / condenser set in it. I want to replace it with a decent set of points and seperate condenser. Anyone know the specs for the condenser screw---size, thread, length, etc? Thought I'd ask rather than going trial and error over the distributor. Thx for any feedback.

I looked at an original from a late-fifties distributor. It's 8-32, .277" long, and has a .260" diameter slotted Fillister head. But, simply, any 1/4" long 8-32 screw will do.
