Is a Torx head Quadrajet screw kit available anywhere?

My 17080213 came with Torx head screws.... they're nice.

I read Replacement Service carbs came with the torx heads

  I was looking at Cliff's parts website last night and noticed that he has two different sets of screws available, depending on the carburetor design. I couldn't tell if they had the Torx heads or just the slotted ones, but I'm fairly certain that if you ordered the set for the newer design with more screws in the top you will get the Torx headed ones.

 I prefer those over the slotted or Phillips heads any day.

Maybe Cliff has some torx, the picture on his parts site looks like slotted.

That brings up another interesting thing....

My 17080213 has torx screws, but doesnt have the extra screws, air horn/main body

My 17080513 does have the extra 4 front screws , air horn to main body-(Original carb on my 1981 chevy k20 Silverado truck)

Books says "In the early 1980s additional screws were added....

You´ll have to know your carb application numbers were use 1980-84, the first year may not have the extra screws but the later did.
This has nothing to do with how the carburetor performs.
