Angry Condenser machine screw

Oops! I dropped the machine screw which holds my condenser in place and it is unretrievable in the bilge. I have the Delco type distributer. Does anyone know the dimensions of the screw or at least a likely place to begin a bracketing process. Thank you.

Is it possible to reach the dropped screw by, say, taping a small but strong magnet to the end of a wire coat hanger and fishing around for the screw?

I am going to visit a auto body shop today to see if there is a magnetic tool to retrieve such bolts but I'm still hoping someone knows the size and thread details. Thanks

Smile Problem solved

A trip to the auto parts store and a container of mixed ignition machine screws later and the ignition replacement is complete. The motor is started and my boating season is underway. Most importantly I can move the boat from the work dock and the potential charges which can occur.
