My Dec SJ had the phillips head screw type for this situation.The Phillips head screw type is the early Masonite board fastener https://www.npdlink.com/search/products?search_terms=011229-1AK&top_parent=200001&year= . I have not seen the hex head one used for this application.
For some reason carb rebuilders have a hard problem getting 4300's to run right. At least from mine and just about everyone I know experience. If anyone has FIRST hand experience with someone who can rebuild a 4300 and make it run properly there are a lot of us out here that would like to know . Many say that they can but when you get the pretty restored carb it doesn't run right or runs ok for a week and then goes to s#!t. Many enthusiasts just give up trying to get one to run right and run a Holley.
Following the decipher you describe, it seems odd that the numbers on the several "JC" mirrors I have seen so far are all SEPTEMBER dates (or is it?). If others concur, this code on my mirror would be 1966, September C7 engineering. This fits well to my need but I have t wonder why there are other 1967 examples like 1 DM1 7 OR 4 DM1 3
I was beginning to think there were two suppliers. JC and DM
Maybe too complicated to understand at this point in time...
