7/16"-20 thread. I used stainless steel setscrews I bought from
McMaster-Carr ( www.mcmaster.com <http://www.mcmaster.com/> ).
I'm suprised about the flare wrench I bought a whole set at Sears, which
goes from 3/8" to 3/4".

Subject: Sizing of Air Rail Plugs and source of Offset Flare Nut Wrench
After idling my 1980 Spitfire 1500 for 3 years, it is about to see the
light
of day with a set of HS4 carbs freshly rebuilt by Joe Curto. Can anyone
advise what size plugs are needed for the intake manifold once the air
rails
are removed? I am also having difficulty finding a 1/2" flare nut wrench
to
remove the air rails - anyone know of a good mail order source?
Cheers,
