Like it says...anyone got a source for these or know the dimensions? One of the screw heads popped off while reassembling my Carter BBD. Maybe someone's got a scrap carb or somethin'?

So I believe you need 3-48 brass screws and some loctite. I ordered some of these in 1/4" length and will post if/how they work out.
*edit: this is not the right size, read below.

be sure to stake the screw shaft. or get the loc-tite small screw loc-tite. do NOT use any other loc-tite. use only purple. the others will only shear off the screws shank.
Purple=low strength.
Blue=medium strength.
Red=high strength.

Okay, 3-48 screws were wrong. Now have 4-40 screws, brass and slotted head, courtesy of Fastenal. The heads are not as flat as the originals, though but I doubt it will be of much consequence.
The BBD in question is off my '69 318, FWIW.

This guy has tons of stuff for carbs. Not open a lot so check times when he is.
