66 Plenum to heater screws

Hi guys, what screws are correct for attaching heater box to original cardboard plenum?
It’s for my car 6S373

Welcome to the forum.
I usually direct hardware questions to the library, but as you are a new kid on the block, here's the answer. The screw is 42119-S8, 8-18X3/8HH,REC,FLNG 11/32,1/4HEX,TPG. It is available at AMK products but the head markings may not be correct.  The same screws were used thru 68 on heater plenums and other applications.

How do these look?

Appear to be different finish and head markings.

Style and length look about right

Note to self, next time check the screws aren’t still in the heater box!
Happy days
