1988 MPFI fuel question

I have a 1988 camaro that I'm putting a 1988 firebird engine in (it was the closest I could find) I took the intake manifold off and instead of removing the fuel lines I removed the (fuel block) I think is what it's called. Anyways my question is I lost the little starhead screws and I'm trying to find them online but I can't find them anywhere I just need the size and thread for them. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I attached a pic of what I'm referring to.

Re: 1988 MPFI fuel question

TP could very well be correct, but it seems that 4mm is a little small for those in that application. I would fire from the hip and guess that M6 would have been their choice for size, but I've been wrong many, many times before. The Schrader valve is somewhat of a size reference. Regardless, finding the cheese-head screws will be really tough, so you might have to settle for a Fillister head or pan head.

A reference photo is attached.
