OEM 3/8 but various lengths, depending on distributor, clamp style, and manifold.
Always check that distributor has clearance to oil pump shaft by installing without gasket. Should sit flush on manifold, then, add your distributor gasket. |

Mine has a: (GR 5) 9/16” hex flange head bolt. The bolt threads are 3/8-16 x 9/16”, and the head is stamped “E”.

Re: What size is the distributor hold down bolt
From experience use a factory bolt and clamp as some of the aftrmarket ones are crap and will loosen and let your distributor move around.
