Buy Equivalents:
The screws you do have probably fit where the lost screws went, at least in diameter and thread, so take one down to your local hardware store and buy some equivalents. Buy a screw cutter to make custom lengths if standard lengths don't work in every place.In addition, there are dozens of Holley carb dealers online. One or more of them should have fasteners available.
