Pretty sure all the old GM starters I took apart had slotted head screws, 1/4 by 20 holding the solenoid to the starter nose. Not sure when the reduced size (3/8) hex came into use.

I could be wrong; fuzzy memories.

my Z has the original starter but not the correct solenoid --- I got a 114458 solenoid and want to use the correct hardware , as some one used 7/16 head bolts on it --- dont think those are correct
